Crime Stoppers: Man accused of threatening teller, robbing southside bank

 

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A man robbed a bank on the city's south side back in May but didn't quite think his plan all the way through. Police are hoping his mistake will lead to you helping them catch him. 

The armed robbery happened at the Tri City Bank near S. 27th Street and Holt Avenue on May 25 of this year.

It was a little past nine in the morning when detectives say a man walked into the bank and slid the teller a note that said he had a gun and would blow her up with explosives if she didn't give him money. 

The teller gave him $700. 

He was fully clothed, but when he fled, he took off all his clothes, including the mask he was wearing, forgetting there are cameras everywhere. 

Do you recognize this man? If so, call Milwaukee Crime Stoppers and give any information you have. 

"I can only remember one Crime Stopper segment that you and I had done that didn't immediately lead to an arrest or conviction," said MPD Detective Tony Castro. "Unofficial percentagewise, Crime Stoppers is about in the 90% of being that final push for clearances to get an identification, and that's all we need is that one final tip or push and we can handle the rest."

Even the smallest piece of information can make a big impact in any case. 

Call 414-224-TIPS, or use the P3 Tips app. Your identity is always anonymous, and if your tip leads to an arrest, you get cash.
