FBI Releases Photos Of Garfield Bank Robbery Suspects

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — The FBI Thursday released photographs of two suspects who are wanted for robbing a Spencer Savings Bank in Garfield Wednesday afternoon, police reported.

The Garfield Police Department received a call shortly after 1 p.m. of a bank robbery at the Passaic Street bank, said Lt. Richard Uram.

One of the women displayed a weapon and demanded a teller give her cash, which she did, Uram said. The women fled the bank and went southbound on Spencer Place, he said.

The women are thought to be in their 20s; they are both short and one wore a blue-colored head scarf and darker-colored clothing and carried a large leather handbag, the lieutenant said. The second woman had dark, wavy hair with curls and wore light-colored clothing.

FBI personnel and officers from the Bergen County Sheriff's Department Crime Scene Investigation Unit and K-9 Unit and the Wallington Police Department responded to the scene, Uram said.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call the Garfield Police Department at 973-478-8500.
