Police arrested a man Thursday that they accuse of robbing six Brooklyn banks, including three in just half an hour last Friday.

22-year-old Robert Williams was taken into custody Wednesday after he attempted to rob an Apple Bank in Midwood, according to police.

Police allege he robbed the same bank last week, making off with $2,500.

When he returned Wednesday, employees recognized him and called 911.

Williams fled and changed clothes, but police arrested him minutes later.

Police said they've linked Williams to six robberies dating back to late April.

All of the banks are on Kings Highway.
