In 2011, the bank was a victim of three armed robberies in as many months.
- On June 16 2011, a suspect approached an employee who was unlocking the bank before 8 a.m. that day. Inside the bank, the suspect revealed a weapon and demanded money. The suspect took off on foot. Nobody was injured in the robbery, Police said.
- When the bank was robbed on April 16, 2011, a lone male suspect entered the bank, revealed a handgun and demanded money from a teller before leaving the building on foot. That suspect was described as a black male, around 6 feet and 2 inches tall and around 180 pounds, wearing a black mask with eye slits, dark jeans and a dark wool cap.
- On March 11, 2011, the bank was robbed in the same way. The suspect in that case was described as "as a black male in his 20s, approximately 6 feet tall, wearing a black ski mask, black jacket, light-colored pants, black shoes and carrying a black bag."
A suspect was not apprehended in those cases.
