For the second time this month, a bike-riding man in a burqa has held up an area bank.
A robber struck around 10 a.m. Thursday at Audubon Savings Bank on the 500 block of the White Horse Pike in Audubon. Authorities said the man, wearing gray pants and white sneaker beneath a burqa, fled with an undisclosed amount of money on a blue BMX style bike.
A similar bank heist was committed Sept. 17 at a Susquehanna Bank office in Camden. The man similarly wore a black burqa and fled from the Market Street bank on a silver BMX bike.
Authorities could not confirm the robberies were related.
Anyone with information should contact Det. Paul Audino of the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office at (856) 225-8449 or Det. David Bauer of the Audubon Police Department at (856) 547-0715.
