Police: Man In Traffic Vest Robs Maplewood Bank

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Maplewood police are asking for the public's help after a man wearing a highly-visible traffic vest robbed a bank last week.

According to police, on Aug. 15 at around 2:30 p.m., a TCF Bank branch located within a CUB Foods grocery store – located at 2390 White Bear Avenue – was robbed.

Police say the male suspect showed the teller a demand note and then fled with an unspecified amount of money.

The suspect is described as a man in his 30s or 40s, 5-foot-10 to 6-feet-tall and weighing 160 to 180 pounds. The traffic vest has been recovered.

Police say the suspect may have fled the scene in a 2000s model Chrysler minivan that was tan or gold-colored with an unknown plate number.

Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call Maplewood police at 651-249-2600 or 911.
