Bank robber still on the lam


AMENIA


— New York State Police are still looking for the person who robbed M&T Bank Sept. 18 at approximately 2:49 p.m.

 

According to authorities, the suspect is a white male in his 40s, approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall with dark hair. He was last seen wearing a green jacket, light-colored pants, a dark baseball cap and sunglasses, carrying a dark-colored shoulder bag.

He was last seen on Route 22 in an older model black Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck, heading south.

The man reportedly entered the bank and handed the teller a note that said he was robbing the bank. The robber was given an undisclosed amount of money.
