A couple of theifs robbed a bank in Brick Township just today.
For the third time in as many days -- and fifth time in a month -- a bank in Brick Township was robbed today.
The recent rash of heists in the Ocean County community has prompted police to beef up surveillance of banks as the institutions' employees are put on alert for suspicious activity.
"In conjunction with the FBI office in Monmouth County, we're going to step up enforcement and patrols," Mayor Stephen Acropolis said.
In the latest incident, a masked man entered the Investors Savings Bank on Brick Boulevard at 2:47 p.m. today and handed a teller a note demanding money. The man fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, Capt. John Rein said. He wore a black stocking over his head, dark glasses, a black scarf around his face, and jeans and brown boots.
Police searched the immediate area with a K-9 unit but were unable to locate the suspect. No weapon was threatened or shown during the robbery, Rein said.
