COPS WANT HELP FINDING BANK JOB SUSPECT

bank-robber1By DUSTIN RACIOPPI

Police are still looking for the man who robbed a Fair Haven bank last week, and now they’re asking for help from the public to get him.

Details on the wig-wearing suspect, right, are lacking.

Cops say the man is black and in his mid-20s or early-30s, wore jeans, a red zip-up jacket, a hat, sunglasses and a wig. He is “at least six-feet in height” and weighs between 140 and 150 pounds, police said.

Last Friday, at around 7:45p, the man went into TD Bank, in the Acme shopping center, and passed a note, which said he had a gun, to the teller. He took off with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said. He left the bank and headed west out of the parking lot, police said. He didn’t have show a weapon at the bank, police said.

The robbery was the first in at least two decades, Mayor Mike Halfacre said. The last one he recalls was in 1982, he told redbankgreen.

Police ask that anybody who might have any info on the robbery call: Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office detective Jose Cruz at 1-800-533-7443; Fair Haven detective John Koetzner at 732-747-0241, extension 329; or F.B.I. agent Shawn Brokos at 732-741-0006.
