East Pikeland Police, F.B.I. ask for help from public

The East Pikeland Police Department and the F.B.I. are asking for help from the public after a bank was robbed on Nov. 12.

The Wells Fargo Bank at 200 Schuylkill Road was robbed by three masked men around 11 a.m. that day, police said. The men, who were also wearing gloves and dark clothing, jumped the counter and took money from the tellers drawers before leaving through the back door, police said.

The three suspects were each armed with handguns, police said.

During their investigation, police believe the suspects are also connected to the robbery of a Wells Fargo Bank in Lower Merion Township on Nov. 4, police said. Three men entered the Wells Fargo Bank at 300 Levering Mill Road around 11 a.m. that Monday, wearing masks and armed with handguns. The suspects also jumped the counters, took money from the tellers and fled.

The suspects, according to police, should be considered armed and dangerous.

In a press release Monday, Police Chief James Franciscus said Wells Fargo is offering, "a substantial award for information leading to the arrest and conviction" of the suspects.

Anyone with information should call the F.B.I. at 610-353-4500 or the East Pikeland Police at 610-935-0606.
