FBI and Eugene Police Searching for Bank Robber Believed to be Armed & Dangerous. At approximately 2:00 pm on Tuesday, November 17, 2015, a man walked into the Chase Bank located at 4770 Royal Avenue in Eugene, approached the teller desk, demanded cash, got cash and left. Although he did not display a weapon in the robbery, investigators believe he may be armed. As such, anyone with information about this man should not approach him. Witnesses describe the bank robber as: White man; Age: Late 30’s to early 40’s; Height: 5’9”; Hair: Dark brown; Facial hair: Dark brown; Complexion: Light brown/olive-colored skin; Clothing: Dark colored pants, dark colored overcoat, and a grey zip-up sweatshirt with dark-colored sleeves. The sweatshirt had the phrase “TAP OUT” across the front. The robber was seen leaving the bank on foot and cutting through a nearby Albertson’s parking lot. At one point, he removed his overcoat and threw it in the back of a dark-colored pickup truck that was parked four spots from the entrance of the grocery store. He then continued on, going around the back of the shopping center before disappearing. In particular, the investigators are asking the drivers who were in the Albertson’s parking lot yesterday afternoon to check their truck beds in an effort to locate the robber’s coat. Anyone with information about that truck or the robber himself is asked to call the FBI in Eugene at (541) 343-5222 during normal business hours; the FBI in Portland at (503) 224-4181 twenty-four hours a day; or the Eugene Police Department at 541-682-5111.
