Around 5 p.m. on
Saturday, March 10, an unknown male approached an ATM at First Bank located at

to the front entrance of the building and marked the front glass window and
door with the same letter. The markings were also engraved into the plastic on
the ATM and the glass on the windows and door.
Earlier in the day,
the suspect was seen in the lobby of the bank. Surveillance video the suspect
behaving erratically as he walked down the staircase. He repeatedly visited the
bank while the building was closed during the day, night, and early morning.
The same individual
is also suspected of additional vandalisms that have occurred within the same
block within a few days of the bank vandalism.
The suspect is
described as a white male who is approximately 5’0” tall, 50 years in age and
may have two dark lines on his cheek and one dark mark on his forehead. He was
