Silent robber strikes Oakland Park Bank; with video

A bank teller’s morning got off to a bad start when, just minutes after opening for business, her very first customer robbed her without saying a word. BankRobbery3

At around 9:05 a.m. September 25, a well-dressed man walked into the American National Bank, 4301 North Federal Highway, Oakland Park and approached a teller. The man didn’t say a word. He just handed the teller a note demanding cash and a bag to be filled. The bank employee, who did not see a weapon, complied with the demand and the suspect fled with an undisclosed sum of money.

The suspect is described as a male in his 40s, possibly of Middle Eastern descent, approximately 5’10” tall, weighing around 230 lbs. He committed the bank robbery wearing a light blue polo shirt, and dark colored slacks.

Anyone who recognizes the suspect or has information about this robbery should contact BSO Robbery Detective Mark Copley at 954-321-4270, or Broward Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 954-493-TIPS or www.browardcrimestoppers.org. A reward of up to $1,000 is available for information leading to arrest.
