Schuylkill County Crime Stoppers and state police at Schuylkill Haven are asking for public's help in finding the person or persons responsible for two bank robberies, one in Tremont and the other in Tower City, earlier this year.
The Tremont robbery occurred about 11:35 a.m. June 6 at Miners Bank, 23 E. Main St.
Police said a man entered the bank, did not display a weapon but demanded money from the tellers.
After obtaining the cash, police said the man exited the bank and walked south across Main Street between two houses to an alley that runs parallel to Route 209, between Good Springs Road and Union Street, and got into a dark mid-size vehicle driven by another man and both then fled.
The robber is described as being black, about 6 feet 2 inches tall with a medium build, and between the ages of 30 and 35 with scruffy facial hair.
He was wearing a dark New York Yankees baseball hat, a black shirt and black jeans, police said.
There was no description of the driver of the getaway car other than that he was also a black man.
Then, on June 29, a robber entered the Halifax Bank, 920 E. Wiconisco Ave., Tower City, at 10:10 a.m., walked up to a teller and demanded money.
The man did not show or use a weapon and was handed money from the teller, police said.
After getting an undetermined amount of money, the man exited the bank and walked across East Wiconisco Avenue and fled the area.
The man is described as being in his late 20s, about 6 feet 2 inches tall with scruffy facial hair.
