Police seek bank robber

courtesy of Middletown Township This person is suspected of robbing a Commerce Bank branch Wednesday. Anybody with information is urged to call the Middletown Police Department at 732-615-2100.
MIDDLETOWN - Police have released a surveillance photo of a suspect in the robbery of a branch of Commerce Bank located on Harmony Road in Middletown on July 25.

The robber is described as a black male with a stocky build, approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall to 5 feet 10 inches tall, wearing a baggy green and white striped shirt and dark-colored baggy pants. After leaving the bank, the man was seen running north toward Bertha Road. A dark-colored sport-utility vehicle was seen leaving Bertha Road north on Harmony Road, but it hasn't been determined if the vehicle was related to the robbery, according to police.

The man approached the bank counter just after 1:30 p.m. and handed a note to the teller demanding money. He fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash.

No weapon was threatened or shown and no one was injured during the robbery, according to police.

The Middletown Police Department is asking anyone who may have seen this person or any suspicious vehicles near Commerce Bank to call (732) 615-2100. The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office and the Red Bank office of the FBI are also involved in the investigation.
