Masked Man Robs Maple Shade Bank: Police

Maple Shade Police are looking for a masked man who robbed the Roma Bank on Main Street Tuesday.

According to police, the lone robber walked into the bank at 124 E. Main St. in Maple Shade around 1:19 p.m., handed a teller a note demanding cash, and fled on foot with a little less than $2,000 cash.

The suspect is described as a man with light brown or olive skin, approximately 5 feet 5 inches, wearing a dark hoodie, a mask, blue jeans and light-colored work boots.

No one was injured during the robbery.

Maple Shade Police and the FBI are investigating.

Anyone with information is urged to call the Maple Shade Police Department at 856-234-8300 and reference case 2013-17845.

This is the fourth bank robbery in the area in the last month. On Oct. 25, a man wearing a Halloween mask took a PNC Bank customer hostage at the Ark Road branch and threatened to shoot him with an unseen gun unless employees turned over cash.

On Oct. 30, a lone man allegedly entered the Susquehanna Bank branch on South Lenola Road and told a teller he had planted a bomb in a trash can, before making off with cash. Patrick C. Walters, 30, of the 200 block of South Lenola Road, was arrested two days later and charged with one count each of robbery, theft and tampering with evidence.
