Here's The Shore Bank Robber UPDATE: POLICE STILL NEED YOUR HELP!






Anyone with information about this individual needs to make contact with the Salisbury Police Department or Crime Solvers.

On February 27, 2010 at 11:30 a.m. the Salisbury Police Department responded to 1503 S. Salisbury Blvd, Salisbury, Maryland 21804, the business of Shore Bank concerning a robbery. An investigation was then commenced and the following information was developed: an unknown white male entered the bank at approximately 10:00 a.m. wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and his head appeared to be balding. This particular male did not make a transaction in the bank and left the bank shortly after entering.

At approximately 11:30 a.m. bank representatives indicated that the same white male re-entered the bank wearing different clothing. This particular male was described as a white male, wearing a camouflage hat, blue jeans, and blue denim style jacket, with a grey hooded sweatshirt underneath, black wire rimmed glasses. On both occasions the male was described as being approximately 5-08, 180 pounds, 30 to 40 years of age, with light facial hair.

On the second occasion the male suspect came into the bank and produced a note and demanded U.S. currency. The male suspect fled the bank on foot with an un-disclosed amount of U.S. currency.

Salisbury Police Department detectives are looking for assistance in identifying and locating the male pictured in the attached video. Please contact the Salisbury Police Department at (410)548-3165 or Crime Solvers at (410)548-1776 if you have information as to the identity of the male in the video, you may remain anonymous.

You cant get images that can be magnified? These are really small, clear but small.

The Bald guy looks like a street guy that is always around downtown. He hangs up on tracks and I am sure that if he is that guy, everyone has seen him as well, Vick Keene probably knows him by name.

Amazing that they aren't aware they're being photographed. That's a good thing, of course.

the pictures of the guy without the hat kinda look like joe bishop the hobo guy that hangs out with all the other hobos on the railroad tracks behind the med center and napa autoparts

Doesn't matter the size if you knew him you would know. I think this one can plead the insanity defense, cuz I don't think he will get off with the most stupid robber defense.

He kinda looks like that panhandler that hangs out around the Wawa near the hospital. Except he dresses better.

How come everybody always ask for your help but puts up way too small pictures?

Whatever happened to banks putting dye packs with the money when they get robbed? This would help catch thev thieves.

It really looks like that panhandler guy. Even the posture is right.

Security cameras only have a certain resolution, so small pictures. Quit whining

Ive seen this guy at the Walmart South near the picknic table or smokers area. I think hes homeless or a street person.

Still stumped as to why the employees are just handing over the goods. All these people have to do is hand the person a note? Come on. Unless they have a gun pointed at my head, I'm going to make it a bit more difficult for them to walk out the door.

anonymous 10:26, I'm confident it is protocol for all employees to turn over the money, period.

There is no way for the employees to know if the perp has a gun under his jacket or in his pocket. The protocol is to give them the money to prevent them from bringing out the gun and shooting someone. I know, I have worked in a bank that was robbed years ago - before that change in policy. The perp did bring out a gun and shot the teller next to me. I quit my job the next day.

Why would you risk 25 years for so little money.

Have seen this guy around wawa asking for change. Have also seen him hanging out around under the overpass. Walks the streets all the time. shouldnt be hard to locate this man and identify him.

nice clothes if he is a panhandler.

He might be getting tired of camping out, begging (times are getting harder) and being cold. Three hots and a cot in state minimum security might sound like a good deal. If this is the guy I think it is, he might even qualify for a mental facility.

12:22 Because he wants to go to jail to watch that widescreen t.v., get a gym membership, and eat well.

ok, in this county alone, 11 bank robberies in a year. Hmmmm! I think this should tell banks, time to change how things are run. If it were my bank, I wouldn't any indoor service period!! Times have changed, and the banks need to change. Only drive through service should be made available. Protect the banks!! Most banks have internet websites, heck I do most of my banking online anyways. And other than that, it's through the drive thru service.
Those two men in the pictures look different to me. Doesn't look like the same man!

Joe, you are a 100% right. Banks will hand over the money in any instance of a hold up. It is not worth the risk to the people in the bank or working at the bank for the few thousand someone can get.

the more i look at this guy the more i am certain that it is Joe Bishop the Hobo from around the railroad tracks behind the napa store

If it is the guy we think it is, there will be some drug/alcohol rehab involved after arrest.

What Happened to the DYE PACKS????

He stayed at the hotel my sister works at (one of the nicer in town) on Saturday night. Apparently the police didn't arrest him but are investigating the money.

Does anyone know what is the law regarding armed robbery without proof of a concealed weapon? Is it a lighter sentence if a piece of paper is the only weapon, or is the charge different based on how the note is written?
