SUSPECTS AT LARGE AFTER
MORNING BANK ROBBERY

CARY, NC – Cary Police are asking for help in locating two suspects who are at large after robbing a Cary bank this morning. A masked man entered the CCB at 950 N. Harrison Avenue around 9:20 AM today, demanded money, and escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash. The robber did not show a weapon. A dye pack inside the bag of money did activate, sending red dye into the bag of cash and onto some of the money and probably onto the robber as well.

Police are looking for a black male, 5’8-6’ tall, 180-200 lbs. wearing gloves, a camouflage hat, camouflage mask and a dark blue jacket. He left the scene in a gray, newer-model 4-door sedan heading west on NW Maynard Rd. Police are also looking for the car’s driver but have no description of him at this time.
