EPPD investigating third bank robbery in two days

The El Paso Police Department’s Crimes Against Persons Unit is investigating a bank robbery, the third in just two days this week.

The latest happened around 4:30 Tuesday afternoon at the Compass Bank at 1610 N. Zaragoza. That same bank has been robbed twice already in the past five months, once on Dec. 6, 2016, and another on Jan. 20, 2017.

Police tweeted that no arrests have been made at this time.

Investigators are also 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.

The images attached are actual images of the suspect and the vehicle that was used into today’s robberies.

Anyone with information as the identity of this robbery suspect is asked to call the El Paso FBI office at 915-532-5000 or to remain anonymous, call Crimes Stoppers of El Paso at 915-566-TIPS (8477).
