Reward offered in PNC bank robbery

SYKESVILLE, Md. - Maryland State Police are offering a reward for information on the identity of a suspect who robbed a PNC Bank in Sykesville.

Police believe the same suspect is responsible for similar robberies in at least two other counties.

Shortly after 1:00 p.m., Tuesday, a suspect entered a PNC Bank in the 1600 block of West Liberty Road and demanded money. After receiving cash from the teller, he fled the scene in an older model dark green passenger car with a tan top, headed east on Liberty Road.

PNC Bank officials notified police that they are offering a $5,000 reward to anyone providing information leading to the arrest of the suspect.

Bank robberies committed in Howard County and Prince George's County late last year are similar to yesterday's robbery and have a similar suspect description.

The suspect is described as a white male, 6' tall with a stocky build, wearing a black ski mask, black gloves, a red plaid shirt over a blue shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Trooper First Class Corey Green at 410-386-3000.
