Teen Arrested for January Bank Robbery in Northlake Village, Another Suspect Still at Large
Residents of Northlake Village might still be buzzing about an unsettling incident that took place earlier this year. On February 25, 2025, a local teenager was arrested in connection with a bold bank robbery that shocked the community. The robbery occurred at Fifth Third Bank on January 29, 2025, leaving many residents on edge and raising concerns about safety in the area.
The young man arrested is 18-year-old Jaylan Smith, who allegedly took part in this brazen crime along with another individual who is still being sought by law enforcement. The second suspect is identified as 19-year-old Andrew Holsapple, and authorities are actively on the lookout for him.
What Happened on That Fateful Day?
So, what really went down at the bank on that chilly January morning? According to reports, on that day, Smith is said to have entered the bank located at 5000 Old Hickory Boulevard along with Holsapple. While one suspect is claimed to have stood guard by the door, the other delivered a threatening note to a bank employee, demanding cash and making alarming threats if their demands were not met. This kind of behavior, while shocking, reminds us of the desperate measures some take out of chaos.
The Investigation Unfolds
Following this nerve-wracking incident, Metro police leaped into action, launching an extensive investigation into the robbery. Thanks to some sharp-eyed citizens, tips started rolling in regarding the two suspects and their potential hiding spots. One intriguing lead came from surveillance footage obtained from an apartment complex located in Hermitage. This footage showed Holsapple in the area, leaving before the robbery and then returning immediately after, which certainly raised some eyebrows.
But that wasn’t the only evidence stacked against the suspects. Fingerprint evidence recovered from the scene matched that of Jaylan Smith, which gave authorities the green light to pursue robbery warrants for both suspects. However, even with solid evidence, Holsapple has managed to evade capture and remains at large. His freedom is a concern for the local community, especially given the brazen nature of the crime.
Current Status of the Case
As it stands, Jaylan Smith is currently being held at Metro jail on a serious charge of felony robbery, with a hefty bond set at $75,000. The arrest has likely provided some relief to a community that’s been shaken by the incident, but the fact that Holsapple is still out there keeps the worries alive.
Call to Action
Authorities are urging anyone who might have information on Andrew Holsapple’s whereabouts to step forward. If you see him or know anything that could aid in his capture, please reach out to Nashville Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Every little bit helps!
Ongoing Investigation
The investigation is very much still ongoing, with Metro police dedicated to ensuring the community feels safe once again. As new updates and information come in, they promise to keep the public informed. We’ll be keenly watching how this story unfolds, as the fate of these young men hangs in the balance. For now, the Northlake Village community can breathe a sigh of relief that at least one suspect is behind bars, but the hunt for the second continues. Let’s hope for a swift resolution to this case and a safe environment for all.
