Cops Ask Public to Help ID Men in Separate Robberies at Fifth Third Bank in Clinton Twp.

Clinton Township police are asking for the public's help in identifying two men wanted in connection with separate robberies at the Fifth Third Bank at Hayes and 18 Mile Road in the past five months.

The first robbery was reported Aug. 24, 2012 at the 40980 Hayes Rd. branch. The suspect, dubbed the "Mad Hatter" in reference to the clothing he was wearing at the time of the robbery, approached the teller with a note that read, "This is a hold up." The note indicated he didn’t want to hurt anyone but ordered that no dye packs be put in with the money, according to police.

This suspect is described by police as a white male in his mid 30s with a long red or blonde ponytail and scruffy facial hair. He was wearing a floppy white hat with a yellow hard hat on top and a bright yellow reflective vest when the robbery took place.

The man left the bank with $1,606 in cash, which he put in a duffel bag before walking out.

. In this case, the suspect approached one of the bank tellers and handed over a note reading, “Give me all your money. No dye packs or transmitter. I will check. Do not alert anyone and no one will be harmed. Hurry.”

Along with the note, the suspect placed a pillowcase on the counter, which the teller filled with approximately $2,532, according to police. The man then fled the scene.

Police describe this suspect as a white male, standing 5’8’’ to 5’10’’ tall, weighing 180 to 200 pounds and wearing a dark blue hoodie, gray scarf with stripes, black frame glasses, gloves, jeans and tennis shoes at the time of the theft.
