Police Seek Help Identifying Dearborn Bank Robbery Suspect

DEARBORN (CBS Detroit) Just after noon Oct. 19, the man seen in the photo above entered the Comerica Bank branch at 850 N. Telegraph and presented a note demanding money, police said.

He allegedly threatened the occupants of the building if his demands were not met.

After being handed an undisclosed amount of cash, the suspect fled the building and ran south along Telegraph, police said.  It is not known at this time if he continued on foot or entered a vehicle.

Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest of a suspect.
