Second bank robbed in three days
YPSILANTI TWP – Less than 72 hours after an unknown suspect robbed the Key Bank on Washtenaw Avenue, deputies are looking into connections between another robbery that occurred Monday afternoon at the TCF Bank at the corner of Packard and Hewitt in Ypsilanti Township.
Deputies believe the same suspect who made off with an undisclosed amount of cash, after he told the bank teller that he had a gun, also was involved in Monday’s robbery.
“It very well may be the same person,” said Cmdr. Dieter Heren from the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies described the suspect, after viewing video from the Key Bank security camera, as a black male 28 to 35-years-old and approximately 5-foot, 8-inches tall with a thin to medium build. He was also described as having a dark complexion, mustache and a deep voice. At the time was wearing a dark green front zip hooded sweats, dark jeans, white shoes and a white brimmed hat, though not a baseball hat. During the TCF robbery, deputies said the suspect was wearing a black jacket with “Champion” in gold lettering on the back and a black painter’s style hat.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Department at 734-971-8400.
