According to police radio the suspect is a white male, short dark hair, 25-30 years old, olive complexion with a black sweatshirt and jeans. He fled in a black Infinity sedan, possibly a G35, with tinted windows onto Rt. 34 South and then Rt. 18 North. He showed a gun and threatened to shoot the teller so he's definitely dangerous.

Looking at his photo, I'd be more inclined to describe him as a hispanic male rather than a white male.

When's the last time someone got away with this crime? The criminal mind must be a very small one.

I don't think he looks Hispanic at all. His features appear to be more Middle-Eastern to me.

I agree, he is not white. Maybe hispanic or indian or pakistan or like Holmdel Girl says middle-eastern. Did anyone notice his expression? He does not look the least bit nervous. He actually looks very confident. When was the last time a bank was held up and the person was not caught? Someone will drop a dime on him. this photo is pretty clear.

no camera's in the lot ?
wonder if he had a permit for that gun ? if all the tellers and customers had guns I don't think he would have robbed the bank

I'm sure that most employers not allow thei employees to carry guns at work if NJ allowed them to carry.I worked for a nation wide company,with offices in rught to carry states,and this waw 1 of their rules.Carrying a gun anywhere on company property,pernit or not,resulted in being fired.
