On Friday,
May 9, 2008, at approximately 11:15 a.m., the TCF Bank, located at 1729
Market Boulevard, Hastings, Minnesota, was robbed by a lone individual.
The robber approached the victim teller and presented a demand note
for money. The robber received an undisclosed amount of money and fled
the bank. It is believed that the robber possibly made his getaway in
a late model, black Toyota sedan, which was driven by another black
male with dread locks in his hair.
The robber is
described as black male, dark complexion, slight goatee, mid to late
20s, approximately 5'4"-5'6"tall, with a medium build. The
robber was wearing a dark colored baseball cap with a white insignia,
dark blue windbreaker, white tee shirt, dark pants and white running
shoes with a black inset. The robber received a dye pack, which exploded
in the parking lot outside the bank. The robber then dropped his windbreaker
and the dye stained cash on the ground. The robber may have red dye
on his tee shirt, pants and hands.
Ralph S. Boelter, Special Agent in Charge of the Minneapolis Office
of the FBI, requests that anyone with information regarding this bank
robbery contact the Minneapolis FBI (612) 376-3200, the Hastings Police
Department, or Crime Stoppers. A reward is offered for information leading
to the arrest and indictment of this bank robber.
