THE RECORD
GLEN ROCK — As detectives continue to pursue the wigged robber behind Wednesday’s mid-morning holdup of the Glen Rock Savings Bank, one question remains: Are police on a manhunt or a ladyhunt?
Questions concerning the gender of the stick-up suspect — who wore women’s sunglasses, a rose-colored wig, and carried a handbag to the heist — continue to go unanswered as speculation grows that the robber is in fact a sir.
Early information from officers suggested the robber was female, but police later clarified the sex of the suspect wasn’t entirely clear.
As the robber fled the bank Wednesday with more than $100,0000 in cash, he or she shed the wig and ditched the gun that was used in the crime’s commission.
Police Chief Fred Stahman commented Wednesday that the robber’s gun may have been designed to fire paintballs.
Soon after photos were released of the suspect, Facebook users commented that the robber couldn’t be a woman with that rugged jawline and seemingly receding hairline.
