Vernon Police Investigating Bank Robbery at People’s Bank Tri-City Plaza 

Police are looking for help from the public in identifying the person who robbed the People’s United Bank at 35 Talcottville Rd in Vernon on Friday June 21, 2013. 

Detectives would like to speak with anyone who was in the area of the People’s Bank between 5:30 am and 8:30 am on Friday June 21, 2013 and saw anything unusual. We are also interested in speaking to anyone who made an observation in Manchester on Deming Street or Tolland Turnpike near Northwest Park from approximately 8:30 am to 10:30 am. Even what seems to be a minor or insignificant thing may be relevant to this investigation. Please contact Detective John Divenere at 860-872-9126 x216 or jdivenere@vernon-ct.gov 

The Robber is identified as a white male, approximately 6 feet tall wearing a black t-shirt over a grey sweatshirt, brown sweatpants and black sneakers. He had a black mask over his face that had eye holes and some kind of glasses underneath the mask. The robber may not have been wearing this clothing during the time before or after the robbery, or may have had an accomplice, so police would like to speak with anyone who saw someone on foot or in a vehicle near the bank between 5:30 am and 8:30 am.
