Man in Cowboy Hat Sought in Lincoln Park Bank Robbery

No weapon shown in Friday afternoon incident at Capital One Bank.

 

Authorities are looking for a man wearing a cowboy hat who robbed a Lincoln Park bank Friday afternoon, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office said.

A white male in his early 30s wearing a white- or yellow-colored shirt with a green blazer, dress pants and a straw cowboy hat robbed the Capital One Bank on Comly Road near the corner of Boonton Turnpike at about 3:30 p.m., the prosecutor's office said.

The man did not show a weapon and made off with an undetermined amount of money, the prosecutor's office said.

Authorities have been looking for a well-dressed man who also did not show a weapon when he robbed a Parsippany bank and one in Mount Olive last month.

"As part of the normal investigative process, we will review other incidents to determine any similarities," the prosecutor's office said in a statement regarding the Lincoln Park incident.

The Lincoln Park Police Department, Morris County Prosecutor's Office Major Crime Unit, Morris County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Section and the Federal Bureau of Investigation remained on the scene in Lincoln Park Friday evening.

Anyone with information on Friday's bank robbery should contact the Lincoln Park Police Department at 973-694-5533, Morris County Prosecutor's Office at 973-285-6200 or the Morris County Sheriff's Office Crime Stoppers Program at 973-COPCALL.

It's true - the economy is bad but if that is the reason to rob and steal,nj would be looking like the ok corral ! People who rob banks do it because they are sociopathic and narcissistic!
