From Staff reports
On Nov. 28, at approximately 8:59 a.m., the Corsicana Police Department received a 911 call reporting an armed robbery at the Chase Bank, at 101 N. Beaton Street in Corsicana. Multiple officers arrived on scene at 9:02 a.m.
Interviews with the Chase Bank employee who interacted with the suspect, stated he entered the bank wearing a stocking cap, white “COVID” mask, long sleeve black shirt and blue pants. He handed the teller a note which contained specific instructions and slightly raised his shirt to reveal a pistol which was tucked into his waistband. The teller complied with the suspect’s instructions quickly left the bank through the east exit where the rear parking area was located. A witness who was arriving as the suspect was leaving observed the suspect to travel on foot southbound, crossing East Collin Street and entering an older model, dark green or possibly blue, Chevrolet, extended cab pickup truck. The direction of travel at that point is unknown.
The CPD is working closely with the FBI, following up all available leads. We also ask that downtown businesses check their surveillance cameras from approximately 8:30 a.m. until 9 a.m. for any vehicle that resembles the one described above. If you have information regarding this robbery, please contact the Corsicana Police Department.
The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 5’5 – 5’10. Attached are two surveillance photos taken from the inside of the Chase Bank.
