The Kissimmee Police Department is on the lookout for a suspect following an armed heist at a local bank, and they're enlisting the community's assistance to track down the perpetrator. As reported by ClickOrlando, a $1,000 reward is being offered for information that could lead to an arrest in connection with last Friday's robbery at the Fifth Third Bank on Simpson Road.
Investigators were on the scene shortly before ten in the morning after the suspect, reportedly armed with a handgun, demanded money from an employee. A description issued by police characterizes the suspect as outfitted in a fluorescent long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, brown boots, a face mask, and a camouflage hat. Fortunately, the incident did not result in any physical injuries, but he remains at large and, as such, a threat to the public's safety.
While the investigation is still active, the authorities are urging anyone with pertinent information to come forward. As highlighted in a coverage by WESH, tipsters can reach the Kissimmee Police Department directly by calling 407-846-3333, and those wishing to remain anonymous can contribute their insights by contacting Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS (8477).
