Police Seek ID Of Mule Road Bank Robber

Toms River police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a man who robbed a Mule Road bank on Monday afternoon.

The man -- described as a white male wearing a black pea coat and sunglasses -- walked into the TD Bank at 10 Mule Road a little after 4:30 p.m. and filled out a bank slip at the reception counter, said Ralph Stocco, spokesman for the Toms River Police Department. Photos are from the bank’s surveillance video.

The man then handed the bank slip to a teller; the note demanded money, Stocco said. The man received an undetermined amount of cash and fled the bank, running west on foot, Stocco said.

Officer Michael Macdonald and other police units responded to the call about 4:40 p.m., he said.

Ocean County Sheriff’s Department Crime Scene Investigative Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and the FBI are assisting the Toms River Criminal Investigation Division, Stocco said.

Anyone with information should contact the department via private message on the Toms River Police Department Facebook page or by calling Detective Louis Santora at 732-349-0150 ext. 1276.
