Oakland County Sheriff’s investigators hope a surveillance video will lead to the apprehensioin of a man who robbed a Clarkston State Bank branch last week.
The incident took place at about 12:33 p.m. Friday, July 9 at the branch inside the Farmer Jack store at Dixie Highway and White Lake Road.
The suspect approached the teller’s counter and said to the teller, ‘Give me all your money and you won’t get hurt.? While no weapon was displayed, a weapon was ‘implied? by the suspect’s comment, reports said.
Demanding money in $20, $50 and $100 bills, the suspect placed the cash in a small, brown paper sack then left the store on foot. He escaped with approximately $4,000 cash, reports said.
The suspect was described as a white male in his mid-30s, about 5 feet, 9 inches tall with medium to stocky build, with short, dark hair, mustache and facial stubble. He was wearing a dark-colored ‘Harley? t-shirt, a University of Michigan baseball cap, full-framed sunglasses and white tennis shoes.
Deputies were unable to determine a direction of travel nor a vehicle used by the suspect to escape.
There was a second bank teller on duty at the time, reports said, but that person was not in a position to see the robbery, nor did Farmer Jack employees witness the incident. Sheriff units were assisted by the Michigan State Police in securing the area, and the FBI is assisting in the investigation.
Those with information about the suspect should call 1 (888) TURN-1-IN.
