JUST IN: Lakewood and Howell Police are on the lookout for a suspect who held up a Howell bank minutes ago and may be headed into Lakewood. The suspect, described as a Hispanic male, approximately 5′ 10′, wearing a dark sweatshirt, brandished a handgun and demanded money from the Chase bank teller and then fled.
The suspect was last seen headed on foot down Route 9.
The suspect made off with an undisclosed amount of cash, placing the proceeds in a bag.
Anyone with information is asked to call police. TLS-89/TLS-CCP.
Guys stay safe out there!
Stay safe
Only a wack job would hold up a bank with a gun. You get the same money without the gun and with the gun its an additional 10 years just for doing it with a gun
I am not worried! He will be caught in no time! Leave it up to those guys! They are doing an awesome job!!!!!:-)
To our Police Officers, please be safe out there.
Alice thanx 4 telling us how to hold up a bank
Pd stay safe we know ull get him
What’s going on around here? Let’s all stick together, report anything you see that doesn’t seem right.
Stay safe PD extra safe
Heading down route 9 on foot?? And they couldnt catch him??
Ooops, is this when the pro-amnesty groups spout off that….he’s only trying to make a better life for his family.
Not the brightest bulb in the pack….armed with a handgun could get him life…in the ground-instantly.
If you see something…speak up…time to take the town back- silence is very costly.
I have to say The Lakewood Scoop is on top of their game with all the up to date news postings for us “Lakewoodians”… TLS website is very eye appealing & very easy to navigate thru! Thanks you are doing a fabulous job!!!!!! Thank goodness he only took the money & nobody was hurt. Hopefully he buys himself something nice:)
LAKEWOOD POLICE DEPARTMENT Thank you for keeping us safe & working in these extreme temperatures…you all please stay protected and out of harms way & catch these BEASTS ON THE STREETSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
