Man robs Delaware County bank, flees with elderly mother in passenger seat: police

HAVERTOWN, Pa. - Authorities say a Pennsylvania man was on drugs when he robbed a bank and was later arrested with his elderly mother in the car. 

Glen Allen Mokshefski, 56, is accused of robbing the Santander Bank on Township line Road in Haverford late Thursday morning, police said.

Mokshefski, a Downingtown resident, allegedly fled the bank's parking lot in a Mitsubishi Mirage with an elderly woman in the passenger's seat. 

Responding officer later stopped Mokshefski's car near the intersection of West Township Line Road and Bryan Street and took him and his mother into custody. 

Mokshefski's mother, who is in her 90s, was later released after investigators concluded that she was not involved in the bank robbery, authorities said.

Mokshefski was taken to a hospital for what police described as is a "serious drug problem." He faces several charges, including robbery and receiving stolen property.

"He could barely stand up, he has sores all over his legs, he's a mess," Chief John Viola said. "It's sad when you see someone like that, I'm sure drugs drove him to do what he did."

Mokshefski remained in custody at the hospital Friday. Meanwhile, Haverford police say it's one of their most unusual arrests.

"This is a strange one, I've never seen anyone hold up or steal with their 90-year-old mother in the car," Chief Viola said.
