Crimes Against Persons investigating two robberies by same alleged suspect

Investigators of the El Paso Police Department’s Crime Against Persons unit are investigating two robberies that occurred Monday.

Officials said the first occurred at 11:00 a.m. at the GECU at 429 Yarbrough in the lower valley.

They said a man, 30 to 40 years in age, was wearing a short sleeve light orange shirt, blue jeans, sun glasses and a light brown wig entered the credit union.

The suspect allegedly approached a bank teller and demanded cash, and took off with an undisclosed amount in a sliver Mercedes.

At noon, police said the same suspect, this time wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, black tennis shoes and carrying a black bag approached a teller at the Walmart Money Center at 4530 Woodrow Bean.

The man allegedly demanded money and fled with an undisclosed amount of money.
