SWAT Surrounds Bank Robbery Suspect In Apartment
EDGEWATER, Colo. (CBS4) - SWAT crews surrounded an apartment in Edgewater on Tuesday afternoon, believed to be where a bank robbery suspect had barricaded himself inside. Unfortunately, the man was not there.
The incident began earlier in the day when police rushed to 26th Avenue and Harlan Street in Edgewater searching for the man who robbed a credit union earlier in the day.
The suspect robbed the Bellco Credit Union at 1931 Sheridan Boulevard in Edgewater on Tuesday morning. He gave the teller a note that indicated he had a bomb. He sped away from the bank in a white Dodge Charger with a temporary license plate.
Police believe they located the suspect vehicle in the 2800 block of Kendall Street. That vehicle was towed away.
The man was described as a Hispanic male in his mid to late 20s, 5-foot-10 with a thin build and short black hair. He has possible tattoos on his face or neck and was wearing a dark-colored Colorado Mammoth jacket, light-colored jeans and light-colored shoes.
He remained at large on Tuesday evening.
