Police seek man in bank-surveillance photo

CRANSTON -- The police today released a photo of a man they are trying to identify in connection with the robbery of a Sovereign Bank branch on March 8.

The 555 Reservoir Ave. branch was robbed that day by a man who passed a note demanding money to a teller, the police said.

Two days later, the man in the photo walked into the same branch, wearing a glove on one hand and carrying a slip of paper, said Maj. Ronald T. Blackmar. The image was taken from a bank surveillance camera.

The same teller who was robbed two days’ previously recognized the man, who wore a parka with a fur-trimmed hood, Blackmar said. The two made eye contact, and the man fled the office, Blackmar said.

So far, the police have been unable to identify the man. Anyone with information is asked to call the police at 942-2211.
