F.B.I. SEEKS SUSPECT
IN BANK ROBBERY

Crime Stoppers of El Paso is assisting agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation in identifying and locating a man who committed El Paso’s ninth bank robbery of 2009, making this the “Crime of the Week.”

On Monday, May 4th, about 12:30 P.M., a lone male entered the Bank of American branch at 7575 N. Mesa, approached a teller and said he had a gun.  He then left the bank with an undisclosed amount of money.  No weapon was seen. 

When the subject exited the bank, he was seen running away, possibly toward Remcon Street. 
This was El Paso’s ninth bank robbery of the year, compared to only 4 for all of last year.  It is believed that this same suspect has been involved in other crimes in El Paso this year.
