In a recent plea for public assistance, the Kissimmee Police Department is reaching out to the community to help identify the individual responsible for an armed robbery at the Fifth Third Bank on Simpson Road, as reported by WFTV yesterday, January 24. The robbery occurred last Friday, January 23, around 9:48 a.m., during which a suspect, now sought by authorities, reportedly brandished a handgun and demanded money from a bank employee. No physical injuries were reported from the scene of the crime.
Following the robbery, witnesses provided a description of the suspect to law enforcement, who was reported to be wearing a notable outfit consisting of a fluorescent long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, brown boots, a face mask, and a camouflage hat. The Kissimmee Police Department is rigorously collecting further details as their investigation intensifies, as mentioned in WESH. This curation of eyewitness accounts alongside the material evidence from the bank’s vicinity aims to build a profile supporting the eventual apprehension of the suspect.
We are asking for the community’s help in connection with a robbery with a firearm that occurred on January 23, 2026, at approximately 9:48 am at the Fifth Third Bank, located at 1401 Simpson Road.
