Burlington Police are investigating a bank robbery at the Citizens Bank at 248 Middlesex Turnpike that happened at about 5 p.m. Thursday.

Employees told police that a man “walked into the bank and handed the teller a note, claiming to have a gun in his possession. The suspect received a quantity of cash and exited the bank, headed toward Bedford Street/Rt. 62. He may have escaped in a white SUV, possibly a Ford Explorer or a Mercury Mountaineer,” said Burlington Police.

Witnesses described the suspect as having tanned skin, an average build and facial hair. He was wearing a camouflage coat, black pants and a furry winter “trooper” hat with ear flaps.

Burlington Police detectives are working with the FBI Bank Robbery Task Force on the investigation.

Anyone who may recognize the suspect pictured in the photos or who may have information is urged to call the Burlington Police at 781-272-1212. All callers may remain anonymous.
