HAMMONTON — A robber took almost $12,000 from the TD Bank on the White Horse Pike Sunday afternoon, police Det. John Panarello said.
“I have a gun,” read the suspect’s note to a teller, Panarello said. “Don’t panic and no one will get hurt. Give me all the 100s, 50s and 20s in your drawer.”
The suspect never showed a weapon. After the teller gave him the money, he left the bank and drove off in a gray or silver pickup truck, Panarello said.
Police provided a detailed description: White, about 5-foot-7 and a stocky 150 to 200 pounds, in his late 20s or early 30s, blond with green eyes and scruffy facial hair, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, jeans and work boots.
Anyone who can identify the suspect should call Panarello at 609-561-4000, extension 233. The robbery came three weeks after the Bank of America on Bellevue Avenue was victimized, allegedly by a serial bank robber who is now in custody.
