Bank Robber Wearing Fake Beard Wanted In Morris Co.: Prosecutor

PEQUANNOCK, NJ — Morris County police are searching for a suspected bank robber they say was wearing a fake beard when he entered a local bank and demanded cash.

The man, pictured above, walked into the Route 23 Wells Fargo Bank in Pequannock around 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp said. He demanded money, and a teller handed over an undisclosed amount, the Daily Record reported. No one was injured.

Police say the man is likely an older white male, and that the black beard is "possibly fake." He was last seen wearing dark colored pants, a dark colored hooded Adidas sweatshirt with white stripes on the arms, a dark colored ball cap, and glasses.

Anyone with information on this man is asked to call the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office – Major Crimes Unit at 973-285-6200 or the Pequannock Police Department at 973-835-1700.

Around the same time officers were responded to the Pequannock bank, police were called to the Riverdale Target for a report of a possibly armed man.

Riverdale police say they checked the area and surveillance footage, and say there was no man matching that description in the area of Target. They added that any reports of a robbery at the Riverdale Target are not true.
