Bank Robber Arrested


Wilmington- Earlier today, detectives from the Delaware State Police Robbery Squad arrested Mr. Frank Mercadante, 49, of Valley Run Drive in Wilmington.

He was identified as the TD Bank Robber from Presidents Day. Investigators received a tip as to his identity after a citizen recognized Mercadante in surveillance pictures which were disseminated by the State Police and shown by the media.

Detectives learned that Mercadante utilized women’s make-up to give himself a make shift beard in an attempt to hide his identity in the caper.

Frank Mercadante was formally charged today with Robbery 1st. Bail information was not available at the time of this release.
