Help Sought To ID Suspect Who Robbed Liberty Bank Friday: Police

BRANFORD, CT — A man wearing a tan fedora hat and sunglasses robbed the Liberty Bank Saturday morning and fled in a white Honda with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

At around 10:20 a.m., a man wearing a dark blue Nike hooded sweatshirt, black sweatpants, dark-colored shoes, blue face mask, brown framed sunglasses, and the fedora walked into the West Main Street bank.

He passed a note to a teller demanding money and warning them to not activate the alarm, police said. Branford Police Department Dep. Chief John Alves confirmed the man did not say he had a weapon nor display one.
