Feds looking for man they say robbed PNC Bank in Cranberry
Federal and local authorities are asking for help in identifying a man they say robbed a bank Wednesday in Cranberry.
The man went to the PNC Bank at 20940 Route 19 in Cranberry shortly after 4:45 p.m. and displayed a note to the teller indicating he had a weapon, according to a news release from the FBI’s office in Pittsburgh.
The news release didn’t specify how much money was taken. No injuries were reported.
The FBI and Cranberry Township police are investigating.
Authorities described the suspect as a white man in his mid 30s to mid 50s. He is 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall and weighs between 170 to 180 pounds. He had been wearing a camouflage shirt and a dark green hat and sunglasses at the time of the robbery.
This is not the first time that particular PNC branch has been robbed.
On Sept. 12, Patrick Acierno, 34, of Freedom, entered the Route 19 building with an Adidas duffel bag and made off with close to $2,500. Acierno pleaded guilty to four counts of bank robbery after hitting banks in North Hills, Ingomar and Monaca, Beaver County, federal prosecutors said.
Anyone with information on Wednesday’s robbery can reach the FBI at 412-432-4000. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
