FBI Looking For Maple Heights Bank Robber

MAPLE HEIGHTS, OH — The FBI is asking the public for help in finding the man that robbed a Maple Heights Bank in early October. The agency has released images and a description of the suspect.

The suspect came into the Citizens Bank, 15765 Broadway Ave., at about 8:50 a.m. on Oct. 10. He sneaked up on two bank employees in the parking lot and ordered they open the business. He told them he was only there for the money.

Once he got inside Citizens Bank he told the staffers if they called police "bad things will happen." He also said the money wasn't theirs, it was the bank's. The man got cash from the bank and then ran out on foot. The FBI said it's unsure how the man got away.

The suspect is a black man, standing over 6', weighing about 240 pounds. He is approximately 40 years old and has a raspy voice. The suspect wore a surgical mask during the robbery.

If anyone has information on the identity of the suspect, they are asked to call the Cleveland Division of the FBI at 216-522-1400 or the Maple Heights Police Department at 216-662-1234. Tips can remain anonymous and reward money is available for a tip that leads to the successful identification and prosecution of the suspect.
