Man Charged In Gloucester Township, Collingswood Bank Robberies

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ —A Camden man who has already been arrested in connection with a bank robbery in Collingswood has been charged with the armed robbery of a Gloucester Township bank, police announced on Tuesday.

Anthony Livingston, 47, was charged with the robbery of the PNC Bank at 1485 Blackwood-Clementon Road in Gloucester Township on July 14, according to Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo and Gloucester Township Police Chief Harry Earle.

Police said he entered the bank at about noon that day and passed a demand note to the teller. After receiving an undisclosed amount of cash, he fled the scene in an unknown direction. No weapon was displayed and no one was injured.

Livingston is also accused of serving as the getaway driver for 33-year-old Laque Hunter, also of Camden, in the July 24 robbery of the Ocean First Bankon Haddon Avenue in Collingswood.

Police say Hunter walked into the bank, formerly known as Sun-Trust Bank on Haddon Avenue in Collingswood at about 2:48 p.m. and passed a demand note to a teller. After receiving an undisclosed amount of cash, Hunter ran out of the bank and got into a car being driven by Livingston, police said. No one was injured in the incident.

Livingston was arrested during a traffic stop by the Collingswood Police Department near Louis and Morton streets the same day.

After police released surveillance photos from the scene, they received tips from members of the community. Based on those tips, Hunter was arrested near Broadway and Federal streets two days after the robbery, police said.

Livingston has further been charged in connection with a thwarted robbery that occurred in Stratford the same day as the Collingswood robbery, police said on Tuesday. Hunter and Livingston have both been detained pending trial.
