The police are searching for a suspect in a bank robbery that happened on Friday morning, at 11:30 am (yes, right when our class was going on). The Wachovia Bank on 29 Main Street was robbed by a man desribed as a white man in his thirties, 5 feet 11 inches tall, slender build and weighing about 200 pounds. He also has black hair and a black beard.
The suspect supposedly handed the teller a note demanding cash and the teller gave him an undisclosed amount. I am not sure if this is the first bank robbery to happen in New Paltz but I know it is very odd to hear of this happening in this relatively laid back town. The New Paltz Police Department are encouraging people to contact them at 845-255-1323 with any details about the incident. There is also an anonymous tip line for people to call at 845-255-1357 or on its Web site at http://www.newpaltzpolice.org/.
