Delaware Police Search for Serial Bank Robber in Ugly Sweater

A serial bank robber in Delaware wore a unique outfit during one of three heists – two at the same bank – over the past few months.

In one of the robberies at the Artisans Bank on Silverside Road in Wilmington the gunman wore a backwards baseball cap and a tan sweater with what appears to be a wolf on it, according to a photo released by Delaware State Police.

The man also held up the same location on June 8 and then held up the SWFS Bank on Concord Pike in Wilmington on July 24, said investigators.

Each heist happened shortly after 9 a.m. and in each case the man pointed a gun at a teller and demanded that the teller empty the cash drawers.

Luckily no one has been hurt.

Police describe the suspect as being between 25 to 35 years old with a medium build and standing between 5-feet, 10 inches and 6-feet tall.

Despite the animal sweater, the man is considered armed and dangerous. Anyone who spots him should call 911 and anyone with information is asked to contact Detective J. Paul Doherty at 302-365-8438.
