The suspect is described as a white male between 55 and 60 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing about 200 pounds.  He has grey hair, sideburns and a mustache.  He was wearing a brown cowboy hat, a black T shirt, blue jeans and black boots.  Surveillance photos are attached.

“This suspect is unusual for two reasons,” said Det. Nedd Wilkens.  “He is older than a typical bank robber, the Western apparel was certainly different than we are used to seeing.”  Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Nedd Wilkens at 623-930-3393.  Calls to the main police number will also be accepted.
