MAN CLAIMING TO BE ARMED ROBS BANK ON BOYER STREET IN CHARLOTTE

Charlotte, NC - The FBI Charlotte Safe Streets Task Force is seeking the public's assistance in identifying and locating the individual(s) who robbed the Clearview Federal Credit Union located at 2830 Boyer Street, Charlotte, North Carolina (NC).

On October 25, 2007, at approximately 11:20 a.m., a lone male entered the bank and presented one of the bank tellers with a bank robbery demand note. Although the demand note indicated that the suspect was armed, no weapon was observed or displayed during the robbery.

After obtaining an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect exited the bank and entered the front passenger seat of the getaway vehicle, which was in the parking lot of the bank. The getaway vehicle was a large black sport-utility vehicle (SUV) that had a distinctive white strip along the side of the vehicle. Since the suspect entered the passenger side of the vehicle, it is inferred that there was at last one other individual in the vehicle. However, the driver of the vehicle was not observed. There were no injuries as a result of the robbery.

The suspect was described as a black male, approximately 5'6" - 7" in height, heavy build, and 20s in age. At the time of the robbery, the suspect was wearing a black baseball cap, a white long-sleeved shirt, blue-jean pants, and light-brown or tan Timberline boots.

Investigators from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) and the FBI Charlotte Safe Streets Task Force responded to the robbery and are still investigating.

The Safe Streets Task Force is releasing the attached images from the bank's surveillance system to assist in the identification of the suspect. The images include two photographs of the getaway vehicle. Anyone with information regarding this case is requested to contact the FBI at (704) 377-9200.
