The U.S. Bank branch in Cushing, Wis., was robbed at gun point Saturday, June 18.
A video from the cameras at the bank was released to the public on Monday, June 27. In the video, the suspect is shown wearing a camouflage top, gloves, sun glasses, camouflage mesh type scarf, and a tan baseball cap with what appears to be a Miller Lite logo on it. He is also carrying a black bag.
The video shows the suspect entering the bank, pulling his gun and taking money from a teller station. It has been edited to only show the suspect.
If anyone recognizes anything from either the pictures or the video, they are asked to contact the Polk County Sheriff's Office at 715-485-8300.
According to the Polk County Sheriff's Department, a masked gunman entered the bank and demanded money around 10 a.m. that day. The suspect, believed to be a white adult male with average height and a thin build, displayed a handgun and threatened bank staff as he helped himself to the tellers' cash drawers.
There were no other customers in the bank at the time of the incident. The suspect obtained an undisclosed amount of cash.
Authorities believe the suspect fled the area in a red Chevrolet (possibly GMC) full-size pickup truck. The pickup had some body rust, may have had a silver stripe or silver trim on the side, and is a mid-1990s model year.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to contact the Polk County Sheriff's Department at 715-485-8300. A reward is available for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible.
