Man Robbed At Gunpoint While Using Bank Of America ATM

ROSEVILLE (WWJ) - Police are searching for the gunman who robbed another man while he was using an ATM at a bank in Roseville.

The incident happened around 9:30 p.m. Monday at the Bank of America on 12 Mile Road and Little Mack Avenue, just east of I-94.

According to police, a 36-year-old Roseville man approached the ATM and realized another man had walked up behind him. The victim told police he paid no attention to the man until he felt a poke in the back. When the victim turned around, he realized the man was poking him with a small, silver handgun, police said.

At that time, the suspect ordered the victim to hand over all of his money. Police say the victim, at gunpoint, withdrew $200 from his account and gave it to the suspect, who then ran to the west side of the bank where he had apparently left a bicycle. The gunman then fled westbound on 12 Mile Road and was last seen riding north on Harding Street.

Police say the victim was visibly shaken but otherwise uninjured.

The suspect is described as a black male, 20- to 25-years-old, about 5'8" tall and 150 lbs. He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and black face mask. He should be considered armed and dangerous.
