Kevin Allure, 34, allegedly passed a note demanding cash and threatened bank employees. He fled with an undisclosed amount of money in a U-Haul van, the account said.

When officers tried to stop the van a short time later, Allure rammed three police vehicles before the van broke down on Haines Road near John Tipton Boulevard, police alleged.

Allure was arrested after a foot chase.

He was being held in Camden County Jail on charges that include robbery, eluding and resisting arrest.

Allure was also charged with three counts of criminal mischief and two counts of assault by auto.

The charges are only allegations. Allure has not been convicted in the case.
