Shreveport Police search for bank bandit
Shreveport Police detectives are searching for a lone suspect who robbed a Bank One branch office in the Highland neighborhood today.
At 9:55 a. m. on October 22nd, patrol officers responded to a bank robbery call at Bank One, located in the 1700 block of Line Ave. Upon arrival, officers discovered that the bank had been robbed by a man witnesses describe as a black male of average height and thin build. Witnesses told officers that the black male suspect, wearing a grey sweatshirt with a hood and white tennis shoes, approached a teller and gave her a note. The note implied that the suspect had a weapon and directed the teller to give him the money. The teller complied with the suspect’s demand and after receiving an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect fled on foot out of the bank. He was last seen running north on Line Ave. No one was injured during the robbery.
Anyone having any information regarding this bank robbery is urged to call Crime Stoppers at (318)673-7000, or Shreveport Police Detectives at (318)673-6955.
