    Be on the Look Out for suspect who robbed Exchange Bank in Roseland-description

    Advisory: Update to bank robbery


    The suspect who robbed Exchange Bank in Roseland was described as a light skinned Hispanic or black male, 5'5" - 5'7", thin build wearing a dark blue button up shirt, grey beanie cap. He was armed with a dark colored handgun and left running WB on Sebastopol Rd. He left with a maroon colored die pack and may have die on him. If located, please call 911 as soon as possible. He may be in the area of the Joe Rodota trail.

    I didn't know what a die pack was, so here's the description:


    In a typical bank robbery, the robber hands a note to the bank teller listing his demands, usually instructing the teller to put money in a bag or other object. The dye pack device was invented as a way to non-violently render a bank robbery pointless by permanently staining the stolen money a bright red color, alerting everyone to the fact that the money being passed to them is stolen.
    The dye pack used in over 75 percent of banks in the United States is called the "SecurityPac," made by ICI Security Systems. A dye pack consists of a stack of real bills, usually of $10 or $20 denominations, with the dye device stuck in the middle of the stack. In the past, the device itself was made of a rigid plastic and was quite detectable to the skilled criminal. Today, however, new technology has allowed the dye to be housed in a thin, flexible package, making a dye pack virtually indistinguishable from a regular stack of money.
