The suspect claims he suffers from severe mental health issues and has been undergoing treatment, which is why his full name was not disclosed.

While he denies remembering the robbery, surveillance footage suggests he threatened employees. There are also multiple enforcement proceedings against him due to unpaid bills and loans. The CNB has stated it is verifying his identity and may initiate immediate termination procedures if confirmed as an employee.
