Robber Visted Bank Hours Before Committing Crime: Cops

The man whose image was captured on surveillance footage during a bank robbery in Orange visited the bank branch as a customer hours before the heist, according to police.

Police said the suspect, who was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt at the time of the robbery, stopped by the Webster Bank at 247 Boston Post Road around 2:30 p.m. Monday. He was wearing a maroon vest and was accompanied by a woman.

Just over two hours later, around 4:45 p.m., he returned alone and stole cash. Police said he may have gotten into a black Nissan Altima with front bumper damage, the same car he and his female accomplice were driving during their earlier visit.

Police suspect the robber is about 25 years old and 5 feet 6 inches tall.

The Connecticut Bankers Reward Association is offering a $2,000 reward in exchange for information leading to his arrest.

Anyone with knowledge of the suspect or the incident is urged to call Orange Police Det. Brian Petrucelli at 203-891-2138.
