Looks like it may be the same guy (same build, height, weight) that robbed the First Federal in Wrightstown. Would be interesting to know if this guy taped the latex gloves around his wrists as well, just like the Wrightstown guy did. Either way since he keeps getting away with it he'll probably wait a bit, make up a new outfit, then go after another local bank that's away from busier towns where…   more ›

Quick random question.....whats the robber wearing on his upper right of his tie? The little black thing. Looks like a clip on mic. And how does the bank have no camera's outside to catch what kind of car he drives. Even if you don't have a plate, just run the make, model, color through PA, NJ registration for the surrounding area and narrow it down. Never understood why the places that get …   more ›

It sounds like the bomb threat called in at at St. Mary Medical Center Friday evening may have been to distract the attention of the local police/officials to allow the bank robber to successfully get away...the timing is too coincidental!   more ›
