TALLEYVILLE, DELAWARE (6/9/2015) An armed man who robbed the Artisans’ Bank branch in Talleyville on Monday also robbed the bank last month, Delaware State Police said today.
Monday’s robbery happened about 9:30 a.m. at 3631 Silverside Road.
The robber with a handgun confronted a teller and demanded cash. She complied and the man then fled. No one was injured.
Detectives determined the robber was the same man who held up the bank about 9:15 a.m. on May 14, also using a handgun. No one was injured in that robbery.
He is described as white, 25-35 years old, about 5-feet-11 and 180 pounds with medium build.
In the first robbery he wore a grey long-sleeved T-shirt, blue jeans, a baseball cap and dark glasses.
In Monday’s robbery, he wore an orange-and-white button-down shirt, orange baseball cap, blue jeans and blue sneakers. He covered his face with a dark bandanna.
