Taylor Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a suspect caught on surveillance during a bank robbery this morning.
On Thursday, June 23, at approximately 9:45 a.m., the suspect entered the Monroe Bank & Trust, 7146 Pelham, and spent several minutes inside waiting for customers to leave. The person then approached the teller and presented two notes on bank forms that she had gotten from the location.
The notes announced a robbery and indicated that the defendant had a bomb. In the notes the defendant demanded "give me all your 100's and 50's, I have a bomb and will blow up all U.S citizens."
The defendant left the location with an undisclosed amount of money and was observed leaving in a light colored car, possibly gray or silver, which was parked on a nearby side street. Surveillance video suggests that there was a second person in the vehicle who drove the defendant away from the location.
Defendant is described as a female, possibly Arabic, light skinned black or white, 5-foot-4 and 5-foot-5, with a medium build. The person wore dark pants and short sleeve shirt (possibly medical scrubs), long sleeved pink shirt, black head wear that included a patterned scarf.
Anyone with information is asked to call Taylor Police at (734) 287-6611.
