    JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WTAJ) — Police have arrested a man they say robbed a Johnstown bank in March.

    Police have identified Almaguer Servero, 41, as the suspect who robbed the First Commonwealth Bank along the 1000 block of Franklin Street on March 20, according to charges filed.

    Servero allegedly had a gun in his waistband as officers said he was seen on security camera walking into the bank wearing a mask and a hoodie. No one was hurt during the incident, but it did cause the Greater Johnstown School District to be put under a shelter-in-place.
