TEWKSBURY – Chief Ryan Columbus reports that the Tewksbury Police Department is investigating a reported robbery at a bank on Main Street that occurred Monday afternoon.
On Monday, March 7, at approximately 1:25 p.m., the Tewksbury Police Department responded to a 911 call reporting an unarmed robbery at the Salem Five Bank, 2171 Main St.
A preliminary investigation determined a suspect entered the bank and passed a note to a teller demanding cash. There were no reported injuries.
Due to its proximity to the bank, the Louise Davy Trahan Elementary School had students and staff shelter in place as a precaution, and a uniformed police officer was stationed at the school.
The suspect is described as an approximately 40-year-old male, who wore a black jacket, gray baseball hat, glasses and a surgical-style mask. The suspect was last seen fleeing on foot on Main Street near March Street.
Several officers and K-9 units searched the area around the bank with negative results.
