Fugitive / Case Number # 646 Unknown Bank Robbery Suspect
Case Facts: Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward up to $ 1,000.00 for information that leads to the arrest of a
yet unidentified Bank Robbery Suspect.
The Pennsylvania State Police, Carlisle and Newport, continue their investigation into
three bank robberies that occurred between January 1998 and May 1998. Investigators
believe that the same suspect may be responsible for all three crimes. The first robbery
occurred at Financial Trust in Mt. Holly Springs, South Middleton Township, Cumberland
County. On Tuesday, January 20, 1998 at approximately 9:15 a.m., the lone suspect entered
the bank and demanded money from the teller. He was wearing a dark colored ski mask and
brandished a firearm. After fleeing the bank, the suspect exited the area in a 1992
Chevrolet Astro Van, white in color with a large maroon stripe along the bottom.
Authorities later recovered the van within a mile of the bank; it had been reported stolen
in the State of Indiana during the month of December 1997. The second robbery occurred at
the Bank of Landisburg, Shermansdale in Carroll Township, Perry County on Friday, February
27, 1998. At approximately 8:45 a.m., a suspect again attired in a dark ski mask and
brandishing a weapon demanded money from the teller. He fled the area in a 1991 light blue
Nissan Pathfinder which was later recovered within a mile from the bank; it had been
reported as stolen in the State of Maryland. The most recent robbery occurred on May 12,
1998 at 1:10 p.m., at Financial Trust again in Mt. Holly Springs, Cumberland County. This
time the suspect was wearing a camouflage ski mask as he displayed the firearm and
demanded money. He fled the scene in a 1995 Ford Pickup Truck, which had been stolen
earlier in the day from a business located along Holly Pike; the vehicle was again
abandoned within a mile of the bank.
