Looks like somebody was hungry for other people’s money just ahead of the lunch hour today near downtown Three Oaks, as they robbed a bank at gunpoint.
Three Oaks Police says that late this morning, between 11:40 and 11:46am, a pair of tellers at New Buffalo Savings Bank at 6701 West US-12, which is also known as Ash Street in the village, were ordered to place money onto the counter when confronted by the armed robber who flashed a revolver, took the money and ran.
The robber, identified as a white man ranging from 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8 and weighing between 150 and 180 lbs, and wearing a white tank top covered by a black zip-up sweater and winter gloves, grabbed the cash and hit the bricks to climb into a dark blue or black older model Chrysler car for his escape. He was last seen heading eastbound on Ash. Nobody was injured in the hold-up in broad daylight.
Three Oaks Police are asking anyone with information that you believe can assist with the capture of the robber, to please leave a message at the Three Oaks Police Department (269) 756-9585.
