A man, dressed as a woman, took a hostage and robbed the Fidelity Money Centre at the Robin Hood store on Tonique Williams Darling Highway.<\/p>\n
The man was wearing sunglasses, make-up, high-heels and a brown wig. He was dressed in a black blouse and gray slacks with a black shawl.<\/p>\n
Customers in the crowded bank branch were unaware of the robbery as the man entered the bank carrying a large gift box and was let into the back of the bank after allegedly pretending he had a delivery to make.<\/p>\n
After gaining entrance to the back room of the bank, the robber made the manager open the cash vault.<\/p>\n
He emerged from the back with a bank employee, believed to be the branch manager, and left the premises in the employee’s car.<\/p>\n
The culprit made the employee drive into Yellow Elder Gardens where he exited the vehicle and escaped with a substantial amount of money.<\/p>\n
There were no injuries reported and the bank will re-open today.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to call the police at 502-991.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
