Spring Lake Park Bank Robbery

On Wednesday, June 23, 2010, at approximately 5:25 p.m., the Wells Fargo Bank located at 8455 Plaza Boulevard, Spring Lake Park, Minnesota, was robbed by a lone individual. The robber entered the bank, approached the victim teller, and presented a note which demanded cash and threatened a gun. After the teller complied with the demand and turned over an undisclosed amount of money, the robber fled the bank on foot.

The robber is described as an Asian male in his early to mid 20’s, approximately 5’5” – 5’7” tall with a slim build and a thin moustache. He was wearing a white, long sleeved, button-up shirt with green stripes, a dark blue baseball cap with a light blue logo on the side, and large dark aviator-style sunglasses. This individual is believed to be responsible for recent metro area bank robberies, including the TCF at 1988 Suburban Avenue in St Paul on April 23, 2010, the TCF at 2390 White Bear Avenue in Maplewood on May 23, 2010, and the TCF at 5205 Central Avenue Northeast in Fridley on June 8, 2010.
