Police recover jacket worn by suspect in bank robbery

Windsor police have recovered a jacket with a red dye stain that was worn during a bank robbery last month.

Police said a Vans trusel-style bomber jacket was found in the area of Howard Avenue and North Talbot Road.

A red dye pack that was handed to the robber was found inside.

On February 22, police said a man walked into a bank in the 400 block of Walker Road around 7 p.m., approached a teller, and produced a note demanding money.

Once the suspect received money, he fled the scene on foot, according to police.

Police continue to investigate the robbery.

Investigators have since released video of the suspect vehicle, a dark-colored Volkswagen Golf MK6 (2008 to 2012) or MK7 (2012-2019), with dark rims and a loud exhaust system.

The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 20-30 years old, 6’3”, with a thin build, and spoke with a European accent. At the time of the incident, he wore a beige winter jacket, dark pants, a black toque, and black gloves. He used a black scarf to hide his face.

Anyone with information on the suspect is asked to contact the Major Crimes Unit at 519-255-6700, ext. 4830. They can also contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.catchcrooks.com
