Robbery of Commerce Bank

The FBI is requesting the assistance of the public to identify the individual alleged to be responsible for the robbery of the Commerce Bank located at 3933 Hulmeville Road, Bensalem, PA, on Saturday August 30, 2008, at approximately 1:36 p.m.

The subject is described as a light skin African American or possibly Asian male, approximately 5'5" - 5'9" tall and 150 - 170 pounds with a thin build. He was wearing dark sun glasses, a White Sox baseball hat, a light colored dress shirt, and gloves partially covering his hands.

The robber entered the bank, approached the teller counter and presented a demand note which implied he had a gun. After obtaining an undisclosed amount of cash, he fled the bank. There were no injuries.

Two bank surveillance photos of the robber are below.

Anyone with information regarding this robbery should contact the FBI at (215) 418-4000 and ask to be connected to the Newtown Square Resident Agency duty agent.
