MANCHESTER – Police are asking Whiting residents who live near the Wells Fargo Bank on Route 530 to review and share any home surveillance footage taken from 4-5 p.m. April 9.
An unidentified white male fled the area on foot after robbing the bank. He was described as being about 6 feet tall, average build. He was wearing a black mask, black gloves, sunglasses, black baseball cap and dark colored sweatshirt.
