Bank Robbery in Neptune City

Federal, County and local detectives launch an investigation into an afternoon bank robbery in Neptune City in the Plaza 33.

Monmouth County Prosecutor Pete Warshaw says a white male suspect entered the Central Jersey Bank on West Sylvania Avenue at around 12:05 p.m. Thursday. He says the suspect handed the teller a note demanding cash and fled with the proceeds.

The suspect is described as clean-shaven, around 5″5, 18 to 25 yoa, 140 lbs, Brown hair, wearing a gray zip-up hooded sweatshirt and a dark baseball cap.

Warshaw would neither confirm or deny earlier Asbury Park Press reports that the suspect stepped into a waiting taxi that took him to a nearby train station.

There are no reported injuries.
