Man Dressed in Burqa Strikes Third Bank in a Month in Camden County

A light skinned man wearing a burqa appears to have robbed his third bank in less than a month, Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo and Audubon Police Chief Thomas Tassi announced Wednesday night.

This time, a man matching that description robbed the Beneficial Bank on the 100 block of the South White Horse Pike shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.

Police say the suspect passed a note to a teller demanding cash.

The suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. No injuries were reported and no weapon was displayed.

This person may be the same person who robbed two banks in September, police said.

The first happened at 10:38 a.m. Sept. 17 at the Susquehanna Bank on the first block of Market Street in Camden.

The other occurred 10:13 a.m. Sept. 25 at the Audubon Savings Bank on the 500 block of the South White Horse Pike in Audubon.

In both September cases, a male suspect dressed in a black burqa passed a note to a teller demanding cash and fled with an undisclosed amount of money on a BMX bike.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Detective Bob Ferris at 856-225-8518 or Audubon Police Detective Sgt. Tim Stillman 856-547-1171.

Information also may be emailed to ccpotips@ccprosecutor.org or texted to CCTIP.
