A man wearing a red Santa Claus hat robbed on Christmas Eve the Chase Bank at 5623 Hwy. 6 in Missouri City.
Anyone with information about the robbery or who knows the identity of the man in the above surveillance photo should call Detective Russell Terry at 281-403-8700.
Police say the man entered the bank around 2 p.m. wearing a Santa Claus hat, a red jacket, red gloves and blue jeans. He approached a teller and demanded money, alluding that he had a weapon. The teller gave him money and he left.
None of the four other tellers or the bank manager knew what was happening until the suspect left. The teller described the robber as a black man with freckles, possibly red-tinted hair, about 6 feet tall wearing “motorcycle-type” sunglasses.
There are no suspects, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation is involved and Missouri City police are reviewing video of the robbery.
At least he was in the spirit of the season.
ho ho ho
The title should’ve read “Armed Robber in Santa Hat Shot Dead by Bank Security Guard”
Where was the armed security guard?
Moderator- How long am I going to be on ‘time out’? Ridiculous.
