GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP NJ--On May 16, 2014 at approximately 2:12 P.M., the Gloucester Township Police Department (GTPD) responded to the PNC Bank at 900 Black Horse Pike in Glendora for a report of an armed bank robbery. Several officers quickly responded to the area and met with the bank employees. A black male approximately 35 to 40 years of age, 5'-09" to 6'-00" tall, wearing a 3/4 length, light tan jacket, tan hat, white shirt, and rust color glasses, who was reportedly armed with a black handgun and demanded money from a bank teller. The male then fled the bank on foot across the Black Horse Pike with an undisclosed amount of currency. There were no injuries.

The nearby Glendora Elementary School in Gloucester Township was placed in a security “LOCKOUT” (procedure that secures the building perimeter from an external threat, while normal school activities occur inside the school). After approximately 30 minutes the LOCKOUT was lifted and normal school activities resumed after it was determined that the school children were not in danger.

This case is currently under investigation by the Gloucester Township Police Department and the Camden County Prosecutors Office.
