Bank robbed

27160112

A man left behind shattered glass as he fled a Southwest bank after robbing it of an undetermined amount of cash Monday.

At 11:15 a.m., the man handed a 40-year-old teller in Citizens Bank at 2900 Island Ave. a note that said, "Give me the money or I’ll shoot," the FBI said. The teller handed over $1 and $5 bills.

While running out, the suspect kicked the door, shattering the glass, and took off on foot going north on Island.

The suspect is considered armed and dangerous and was described as black, in his mid-20s, 5-foot-2 to 5-foot-4, with a medium build, thin mustache and wearing a black-and-white checkered cap with earflaps and visor, a dark jacket over a light-colored sweater, and knit gloves. The clothing was found on the 2800 block of Island, according to the FBI.

After obtaining the 23-year-old’s wallet with ID and $100 at 12:15 p.m. Saturday, the offenders fled on foot west on Reinhard Street, according to a police report.

Sibling rivalry
