Springfield police began their investigation into the NCF Savings Bank holdup at around 5 p.m. on Oct. 30.
The robber passed a teller a note that read, “Robbery, I have a gun.” The teller gave the robber money from her drawer, according to Springfield police. The robber then turned to another teller and said, “Give me all of yours, too,” and the employee did as he asked.
The man fled on foot and was later seen heading south behind Kroger. The robber took the note with him and never showed a gun, according to police. Witnesses said he kept his hands in his pockets as if he had a weapon.
Springfield police say the suspect was described to them as being white, around 35 to 45 years old, five foot seven inches tall and 150 lbs. He also had brown hair and a scruffy beard.
“He wore a floppy dark hat with a bandanna underneath, back hoodie, and green camouflage cargo pants. He wore dark sunglasses and had a tattoo of a clock on the top of his left hand,” A Springfield police press release says.
If anyone has information about the incident, they are asked to contact Det. Jamie McCutcheon at 937-324-7709.
