Police: Robbery suspect threatened to shoot teller in face
By News Staff
Pawtucket Police are asking for help identifying a man they say walked into a bank and threatened to shoot the teller in the face.
Around noon on Monday, the suspect walked into the TD Bank on Central Avenue and demanded money from the teller.
No weapon was shown, but police say the suspect told the teller he would shoot him in the face if he didn’t hand over the money.
The teller gave money to the suspect, who then ran down Kenyon Avenue.
The suspect is described as a black male, between 40-50 years old, with a dark colored beard or goatee, roughly between 5”9-5’11” tall, wearing a black zip up hooded sweatshirt with white fur lining, a black, open faced mask (balaclava) that concealed his hair and neck, white sneakers, and a plain white baseball hat with no logo on it.
Anyone with information is asked to call Pawtucket Police are 401-727-9100, x756 for Det. Susan Cormier or x700 for Det. Trevor Lefebvre.
