• Broadway bank robbery charge: “I’m horrible at this,” police say Murtezan Bekteshi admitted to them after the 20-year-old was arrested and found carrying “bait bills” handed out in the October bank robbery at the Broadway Market Wells Fargo. Prosecutors have charged Bekteshi for the October 22nd hold-up. Prosecutors say the about to turn 21-year-old has a history of frequent run-ins with the law and had only been out of prison for two months before the latest allegation:
  According to court documents, a resident at the 23rd Ave boarding house where Bekteshi has been living brought the suspect to the attention of a department of corrections officer saying he recognized the man in TV new coverage of the robbery and had loaned him the paint-stained pants seen on the suspect in security images. The resident also said Bekteshi told him he had “come into some money.”Police took Bekteshi into custody during a visit with the corrections officer and documented finding the suspect’s complete wardrobe from the paint-covered pants to ski gloves in Bekteshi’s room. They also reported finding $151 in Bekteshi’s possession, including ten two-dollar bills.
  Bekteshi remains jailed on $500,000 bail, charged with first degree robbery. He has not yet entered a plea on the charge.
