SYRACUSE -- Update (11:00 pm):
Syracuse police say they've made a quick arrest in a bank robbery at the Chase Bank on James Street. Police say they used surveillance video from several nearby buildings to catch 35-year-old Jimmy Coleman. Police say the video showed him climbing a fence into a backyard on Highland Avenue. That's where officers found him.
Coleman is on parole for robbery and was let out of prison last week. He'll be arraigned on a robbery charge Thursday morning.
