Lower Valley Bank Robbed For 2nd Time

A Lowe Valley bank was robbed Friday morning.

At about 11:30 a.m., a man walked into the Compass Bank located at 7744 North Loop, El Paso, Texas, approached a teller with a note, and allegedly demanded money. The teller handed over an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect did not display a weapon and fled the bank on foot headed west on North Loop.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic Male, approximately 25-30 years old, 5-foot-6-5-foot-7inches tall, heavy build, approximately 250 pounds with a black goatee, wearing a dark colored shirt with white stripes, blue jeans and a dark baseball cap. This Compass Bank was robbed by a different subject on January 28, 2011 and that case is still under investigation, according to FBI officials.

This case is being worked by the FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force, which includes the El Paso Police Department and El Paso Sheriff’s Department. If anyone was in the vicinity of this bank and/or has information about the robbery, please contact the FBI at 915-832-5000
