Ferndale Police Search For Brazen Bank Robber

FERNDALE (WWJ) - Police in Ferndale are looking for tips into a brazen bank robbery that took place in broad daylight.

Around 4:30 Friday afternoon, police say a man walked into the Huntington Bank branch along Nine Mile Road, approached a bank teller and handed her a note that demanded money and implied he had a gun.

The teller gave the thief cash and he fled out of the back door and ran north through the parking lot with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The suspect is described as a black man in his 40's, about 5'10' to 6'0", thin build, wearing a blue jacket with a Superbowl Millennium label.

Police believe the suspect could have been involved in other area robberies. He should be considered armed and dangerous. Anybody with information should contact the Ferndale Police at 248-541-3650 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP.
