Police: $5,000 Reward Offered to Help Identify Union City Bank Robbery Suspect

The Union City Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance with identifying this suspect.

On Dec. 22, 2014 at approximately 10:02 a.m., an unknown male walked into the Wells Fargo Bank located at the Union Landing Shopping Center ( 30915 Courthouse Dr. – Union City), and produced a demand note to one of the tellers. The suspect also lifted up his shirt and displayed what appeared to be a firearm, which was partially concealed in his waistband.

Based on the suspect’s demands, the teller cooperated and provided the suspect with the requested funds. After obtaining the demanded funds from the teller, the suspect fled the Wells Fargo Bank on foot, and got into a parked vehicle. The vehicle is described to be a dark colored, four door sedan, with tinted rear windows, and was parked nearby in the Walmart parking lot.

The suspect is further described as being a light skinned, black male adult, in his 20’s. He is further described as having a medium build, and was last seen wearing a yellow Pittsburgh Pirates baseball hat, a gray or light blue colored hooded sweatshirt, light colored pants, and white colored tennis shoes. The suspect was also described to have a tattoo of a “star” to the rear of his right ear.

The Wells Fargo Bank is offering up to a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of this subject.
