A TikTok star in the US has been arrested on suspicion of being involved in four robberies over three months.

Acording to The Detroit News, Chozen Terrell-Hannah was taken into custody after authorities noticed a running theme in the crime scenes.

The FBI said the 22-year-old was seen dancing in a TikTok video 'in what investigators described as his stick-up shoes'.

His white Nike shoes with red spots were the same kicks that were seen at one of the robbery locations.

The four robberies were committed in Detroit and Complex states they were all done in a similar style.

The first happened at a Commerce Township 7-Eleven on December 1 last year.

The suspect was wearing 'black pants, a black hooded sweatshirt, a black ski mask and white shoes, and carrying a black backpack decorated with pink flowers', according to The Detroit News.

Authorities say the suspect was carrying a handgun during the theft.

There were more robberies in that fashion on January 13, 26, and February 1.

During the January 26 incident, an FBI task force officer explained: "The clerk initially refused but complied after the subject pulled back the slide of the gun in a motion of chambering a round and ejected a round onto the counter.

"This round, which was recovered later, was .40 caliber."

The FBI received an anonymous tipoff to Terrell-Hannah's TikTok account, which has more than 149,000 followers and 1.6 million likes, and they launched an investigation into the man.

Authorities believed they had found their suspect when they matched witness reports with Terrell-Hannah's physical characteristics.

The FBI task force officer said: “Based on my training and experience, I believe due to [Terrell-Hannah’s] light complexion, the victims of armed robberies, observing him under the circumstances and wearing the clothing described above, could describe him as either white or black.

"These shoes are similar in appearance to the shoes worn in the above referenced armed robberies.”

Once they felt they had found their suspect they set up surveillance outside the TikTokker's home.

They eventually pounced and raided the home. Inside, they said they found 'items believed to be used in the armed robberies'.

During their interview with Terrell-Hannah, he 'admitted to committing all four of the above-described armed robberies'.

He's been charged with robbery affecting interstate commerce and possessing a firearm during a violent crime.

The 22-year-old faces more than 20 years behind bars, according to Complex.
