LITTLE ROCK, AR - Little Rock police officers thought they'd caught one of three suspected bank robbers, but it turns out -- they had the wrong guy.

Explained Sgt. Cassandra Davis, "behind the scenes we are receiving information as to possible descriptions so we do make contact with individuals matching that description and try to ascertain why they're in the area and what role, if at all, they played in the crime."

In this case the man played no role in the crime, so police cut him loose. Since then, they got pictures of three suspects from bank surveillance cameras and are looking for all three men.

"They did display a weapon so we consider them armed and dangerous," Davis said.

Police say the men entered the Centennial Bank on South Broadway Street in Little Rock around 10:30 Tuesday morning. Armed with at least two guns, they hopped over the counter, and took handfuls of cash from the drawers. Police say it's unusual to have three men rob a bank -- usually it's just one person, maybe two. Now they're hoping someone recognizes the men in the surveillance camera pictures and calls police.

"We're hoping if they live here in the area that somebody will be able to identify them," said Davis.

Suspect descriptions

  • Man, mid 20’s to early 30’s, 5’10” 210, wearing a straw camouflage hat, green t-shirt, and overalls.
  • Man, mid 20’s to early 30’s, 6’0” thin build, wearing a dark colored long sleeve shirt, blue jeans, black do-rag, dark sunglasses, and armed with a small dark colored semi auto handgun.
  • Man, mid 20’s to early 30’s, 5’10”-6’0”, medium build, wearing a black skull cap, blue t-shirt with a white design on the front, and blue jeans.

Why aren't banks here designed & equipped for instant lockdown like in some European countries. If you try to rob a bank there someone hits a button and gates fall from the ceiling, doors auto-lock and nobody gets out 'till the law shows up.

anybody stupid enough to rob a bank at gun point does not deserve a tria. shoot them in the back of the head, and be done with it

I have said this many times. Bring back the armed security at banks.
