Bank robbers
on the loose
The FBI is seeking the publics help in identifying a man who robbed a Sovereign Bank branch in Tacony last Thursday.
Shortly after 9:30 a.m., the robber entered the bank at 6836 Torresdale Ave. and, while wearing a beige stocking over his face, pressed a demand note against the glass at a teller station.
The bank employee stuffed an undisclosed amount of cash into a blue plastic bag supplied by the suspect. Money in hand, the robber fled on foot in an unknown direction. No escape vehicle was seen.
It is unknown if the suspect had a weapon.
The assailant was described as black, age 30 to 40, 6 feet 4 inches tall and very skinny. He had a light complexion and wore blue Dickies-style work slacks and shirt.
Call the FBI at 215-418-4000 to report information about the crime.
