FARGO, N.D. — Fargo police have arrested a suspect in a bank robbery, carjacking and kidnapping case in the neighboring Minnesota city of Moorhead.

The 52-year-old Fargo man was taken into custody Tuesday evening at a south Fargo motel. Formal charges were pending.

Authorities say that a man with a gun demanded cash from a Wells Fargo branch in a Moorhead grocery store about midday Monday. The suspect then went to a liquor store across the street, stole a pickup truck with the driver still inside and fled back to Fargo.
