ODESSA, Texas — Odessa police and the FBI are investigating after BBVA Compass Bank on 42nd Street was robbed on Wednesday.
This is the third bank robbery in the Midland-Odessa area in less than a month. Additionally, police say the suspect walked up to the bank teller and showed a note demanding money be put in his bag before leaving, similar to the previous robberies.
Authorities say the suspect also displayed a handgun during the robbery.
The suspect is reportedly a white male with glasses wearing a hoodie and a surgical mask. OPD suspects the man is using an oxygen tank.
Police say he fled the scene of the robbery in a white 4x4 Dodge Ram, either 2500 or 3500. The bed of the truck has a diamond plate auxiliary fuel tank, and the front doors of the vehicle may have a company logo covered with tape.
If you have any information on the suspect you are asked to call OPD, the FBI or Crimestoppers at 432-333-TIPS.
