Stamford Bank Robbed at Gunpoint

Police are looking for the man who robbed a Stamford bank Tuesday morning after threatening the teller and displaying a handgun, authorities said.

It happened just before 10:30 a.m. Tuesday when the robber walked into the First County Bank at 1110 Hope Street in Stamford. Police said he handed the teller a note saying he had “nothing to live for” and threatening to hurt the teller if he or she didn’t hand over the money.

The robber then displayed a handgun, took an unknown amount of cash and left through the rear of the bank, police said. He was last seen getting into a gray car that pulled out and started west on Mulberry Street.

He’s described as a white man with a neck brace and was wearing a dark-colored wig, sunglasses, a black Nike jacket with a white stripe across the front and a black winter hat, police said.

The suspect is still on the run and is considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information is asked to contact Stamford police at 203-977-4417.
