Days later, the same vehicle is involved in a shootout with police, but eventually would elude them. Eventually, the vehicle is found, the interior covered with red dye from the stolen bank packs. A year later, a man is shot and his car is stolen. The next day, the car is used in another bank robbery. Investigators would conclude that the man follows the same pattern; he steals a vehicle and uses it for his crimes.
