Fond du Lac police seek suspect responsible for robbery of Hometown Bank

FOND DU LAC (WITI) -- Fond du Lac police are seeking the suspect responsible for the robbery of the Hometown Bank on N. Peters Avenue in Fond du Lac.

It happened on Tuesday, March 24th just before 4:30 p.m.

Responding officers were advised that a male subject entered the bank, presented a note to the teller advising that this was a robbery and to hand over the money.  After receiving an undisclosed amount of cash, the suspect fled from the bank.

The suspect is described as a white male (possibly 35 to 50 years of age) approximately 5’9” tall , 175-185 pounds, with a mole or growth on his right cheek.

The suspect was last seen wearing a black or charcoal colored style hoodie with dark sunglasses and a dark-colored winter hat.

No one was injured during the incident.

Remarkably, this bank robbery took place shortly before the police-involved shooting that killed Wisconsin State Patrol Trooper Trevor Casper -- but police say there is no link between Steven Snyder and the Hometown Bank robbery.

Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to contact the Fond du Lac Police Department at 920-906-5555 or the Crime Alert number at 920-322-3740.
