Within a few seconds of fleeing the bank, the dye pack exploded and he was seen dropping the money onto the ground and fleeing the scene in the pictured vehicle, believed to be a Ford Fusion color red/maroon which traveled west on the Post Road, according to police.

Police said the man had also come into the bank two days prior to the robbery (on May 18) at about 12:20 p.m. and wanted to turn in some loose change which he carried in a plastic Dominos Sugar container.

While speaking with a bank employee that day, the man said that he worked construction (under the table), had bad credit, six children for whom he was behind in their child support and declined to open an account for fear that the government would seize his money, according to police.

There is a reward being offered for information leading to the arrest of the suspect and you can remain anonymous.
