Windsor Locks Police Seeking Bank Robber

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT — A man robbed the United Bank branch in Dexter Plaza of about $2,900 in cash early Monday afternoon, police said.

Around 12:48 p.m., Windsor Locks police received a bank robbery alarm activation. Upon response, they were informed a black male in his mid-30s had handed an employee a note demanding cash. The man "began to move his vest open implying that he may have had a weapon," though none was brandished, police said.

After receiving cash, the suspect left the bank and got into the left rear seat of a silver car, possibly an older model Toyota, police said.

The suspect is described as standing about 5-foot-8, weighing 220 to 240 lbs., with long collarbone length hair and a scruffy black beard. He was wearing a white T-shirt and a bluish-colored vest, with peach-colored sunglasses and a baseball cap, according to police.

Anyone with information is asked to call Windsor Locks police at 860-627-1461.
