Police Seek Suspect In Rostraver Armed Bank Robbery

ROSTRAVER TOWNSHIP (KDKA) -- Police and the FBI are looking for a suspect after an armed bank robbery Thursday afternoon in Rostraver Township.

It happened just before 3:30 p.m. at the PNC Bank in the 800-block of Rostraver Road.

According the Rostraver Police Chief Greg Resetar, the suspect demanded large bills from one of the tellers and had a semi-automatic black pistol.

He was last seen headed on foot towards Route 201. A witness says he ran towards the business district.

Police describe the suspect as a white male between 6-foot-2 and 6-foot-4 with a husky build. He was wearing a dark blue, short-sleeve tee-shirt, blue jeans and a green baseball cap with a tan bill and white lettering on it.

Police also say a gray or silver older-model Hyundai Elantra was speeding near the scene; however, they are not sure if it was involved.

Several customers were in the bank at the time, but no injuries were reported.
