Newark bank robbery suspect remains at-large after taking off in SUV: Police ask for public’s help with investigation

Police in Newark say it will likely be some time before the person responsible for a bank robbery in the village on Tuesday is brought to justice.

The man accused of robbing Community Bank around 9:15 a.m. remains at large after a search on Tuesday.

No injuries were reported in the Church Street incident, but police said the unknown male entered the bank, dressed in black and wearing a mask. He demanded money from a teller and took off.

The suspect was seen getting into an SUV nearby, which headed away on East Avenue.
