Former child star Joey Cramer, best known for his leading role in Disney’s Flight of the Navigator, has been arrested in connection with a bank robbery in Canada.
Cramer was wearing a disguise, but was easily recognized by police officers when they watched the bank’s surveillance video as they have had previous encounters with Cramer.
The 42-year-old allegedly wore a wig and demanded an undisclosed amount of cash from a Sechelt Bank 30 miles northwest of Vancouver.
Cramer reportedly fled the bank on foot, and was ultimately arrested April 30. In addition to robbery charges, Cramer also faces charges of failing to stop for a peace officer and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
Constable Harrison Mohr of the Sunshine Coast Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a statement to Daily Mail, “Despite the fact that a disguise was used during the robbery, the suspect was quickly identified by some of our officers, who had recently dealt with him on an unrelated matter. We hope that the community feels safer now that the suspect has been apprehended.”
Mohr added, “Here on the Sunshine Coast, robberies are extremely rare. We’re fortunate that the officers were able to get the suspect into custody quickly.”
It is unknown whether Cramer used a weapon in the robbery.
Before his run-in with the law, Cramer starred in “Stone Fox,” “Runaway” and “Clan of the Cave Bear.”
