SMH: Bank Robber Uses "Black Face" In An Effort To Conceal His Identity!

On its face, the heist at the PNC Bank on Pulaski Highway in Perryville Tuesday afternoon appeared to your standard fare, as far as bank robberies go."He came in, handed her a note, handed the teller the note, she gave him the money she had in the drawer," said Perryville Police Chief Allen W. Miller.

And at the time, Miller had no reason to doubt the teller's description of the robber. "We interviewed the teller, and the teller gave us a description of a black male, five-seven, five-eight, 180 pounds," Miller recounted.

But when police checked the bank's surveillance footage of the robbery, they realized while the suspect wasn't wearing a mask, it didn't mean he wasn't trying to conceal his face. "They found out by looking at the glove area, between the glove area and the jacket, this was actually a white male we're looking for,” explained Miller. “So initially, the call out was for a black male. It turned out to be a white male in a black face."
