From Cape Story Neighborhood Watch:
“I just wanted to share that there was an apparent bank robbery in our area and that the police are out on the bike path, in the neighborhood and in the air looking for a white male with a black back pack. The police came to our door asking to lock all doors and report any activity. Thought I would share.”
My husband went to the shopping center and confirmed there was a robbery at the Great Neck and Shore Drive Wachovia Bank this morning (Fri, Jan 8). An officer stated that the robber was about 5″4” but he was unable to provide a better description because the robber was wearing a mask. The police are not sure if the robber escaped via foot or in a vehicle. In the interest of safety I would urge everyone be on special lookout for suspicious persons and lock your doors, windows and garages.
If anyone saw anything suspicious, please call the police.
These are the only details I have at this time but will provide any additional info if and when received.
Please remember to call 911 if you see a crime in action and call 385-5000, option 1, to report crimes after they have occurred or to report any suspicious activity.
