EDISON — Police are searching for the suspect who robbed the TD Bank on Oak Tree Road last week.
The man entered the bank at 4:30 p.m. March 17 and passed a teller a note demanding money and claiming that he had a gun, though he did not brandish a weapon, according to police.
After receiving an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect fled the bank, heading east, police said.
The suspect was described as a heavyset, black male in his mid-to-late 30s. He had a dark complexion and facial stubble, and some gray hair. He was between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall. He was wearing a black leather jacket and gray shirt, with a neon-yellow safety-style vest and a gray baseball cap with a black brim and an “OBEY” logo in black, along with clear safety glasses. He wore baggy, light-colored denim jeans and black sneakers with white soles, according to police.
The Edison Police Department is working in conjunction with the Somerset Office of the FBI on this incident, and is asking anyone with information on the robbery to contact Detective Jeffrey Tierney at 732-248-7526 or the police nonemergency number at 732- 248-7400.
