POLICE have released CCTV images of the man responsible for robbing a Civic bank and allegedly threatening staff with firearm in July.
The man entered Westpac bank on Alinga Street around 3pm on Friday, July 20 and threatened a teller with what appeared to be a firearm.
He took a sum of cash and left the bank on a blue bicycle. There were no customers in the bank at the time of the robbery.
The man dropped a bundle of stolen cash on the footpath on the corner of Rudd and Moore Streets. The cash was handed in to police a short time later.
The man is described as a Caucasian in appearance, approximately 183cm (6’) tall, aged between 40-50 years old with a medium build. He was wearing black tracksuit pants, and a dark jacket. He had an item of clothing covering his head and the lower part of his face.
Police ask anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV images to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via www.act.crimestoppers.com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.
