Bank Hold-Up In Dearborn Heights Leaves Police Seeking Public’s Assistance

A quiet day turned tense in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, when an armed man stormed into a Flagstar Bank and demanded cash. The incident went down on Wednesday, September 4 around 1 p.m. on Ford Road. Folks are still reeling from the shock, but guess what? Nobody got hurt.

The robber didn’t hang about after he grabbed an unknown amount of cash. He was seen leaving the bank, hopping into a maroon Ford and speeding off east on Ford Road, probably figuring he had made a smooth getaway.

But the ground is heating up under his feet now, as cops are determined to nail him down. With the community’s help, they’re hoping to close this case real soon.

A description of the man

The man in question is an African American dude, somewhere between 6 feet to 6 feet 3 inches tall. He’s estimated to weigh between 160 to 170 pounds. He was sly enough to cover his identity with a mask but his attire is what stuck out the most. Put your mental caps on and visualize a tan hooded sweatshirt with a funny dancing skeleton on it. Pair that with dark (probably blue) pants and dark Addidas-looking shoes, and you’ve him!
