Plano Police Seek Suspected Bank Robber With 'Strong Body Odor'

PLANO (KRLD) -- Police are searching for a suspected bank robber characterized by a strong body odor in Plano.

Investigators say the suspect robbed a Wells Fargo Bank inside a Tom Thumb grocery store on West Parker Road on July 7 around 2:45 p.m.

Police say the man, estimated at 18 to 22 years old, walked into the bank and passed a note to the clerk demanding money. The teller handed over an undisclosed amount of cash.

The suspect fled the location on foot in an unknown direction.

He's described as a white male standing 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-6 with a heavy build. He also has curly brown or red hair and acne.

The clerk tells police the suspect acted nervous, had a strong body odor, and wore glasses.

"We don't know if they glasses he's wearing is a normal look that he has about him or if it's just something that's designed to disguise his identity," said Plano Police Officer David Tilley.
