jacket, dark sunglasses and a knitted cap in all three crimes, the
robber of the United Bank in Magnolia Springs, is also suspected of
robbing the Americash Cash Advance in Gulf Shores on March 20 and A
Dollar Cash Advance in Foley on March 14.
The string of robberies, which were caught by
surveillance cameras, is suspected to be performed by the same
individual, according to Baldwin County Sheriff Huey “Hoss” Mack
Jr.
The suspect is a white male approximately 30
to 35 years old, 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall, weighing 180 to
200 pounds, wearing a green jacket and a dark knitted cap – a
“skull cap” -, according to physical descriptions from witnesses
and surveillance video.
The suspect is believed to be driving a silver
/ white, mid-size car, similar to a Ford Taurus.
Mack along with Baldwin County District
Attorney Judy Newcomb, Foley Police Chief David Wilson and Gulf
Shores Investigator Skip Callaway are working together, an approach
designated as the Violent Crime Task Force.
The task force will develop a strategy that
will link the municipal and county police departments, and increase
the number of investigators working on the case.
Officials believe that the suspect is
armed.
Mack is asking that if anyone knows this
suspect or has a shred of information to call local
authorities. Any evidence could lead to his
capture, he said.
Major Anthony Lowery of the Sheriff’s Office
said on Thursday that the task force is following a few leads.
County authorities can be reached at 937-0202;
Foley PD, 943-4431; Gulf Shores PD, 968-2431.
