Compass Bank Robbery

FBI El Paso January 28, 2011
  • Special Agent Michael Martinez (915) 832-5373

At approximately 9:30 a.m., a man walked into the Compass Bank located at 7744 North Loop, El Paso, Texas, approached a teller with a note, and demanded money. The teller handed over an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect did not display a weapon and fled the bank on foot headed west on North Loop. The money did contain a dye pack which agents believe exploded and therefore will leave red stain(s) on the suspect.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, approximately 45-50 years old, slim build, unshaven gray beard, wearing a dark work coat, dark pants, a red baseball cap, and large clear glasses.

This case is being worked by the FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force, which includes the El Paso Police Department and El Paso Sheriff’s Department. If anyone was in the vicinity of this bank and/or has information about the robbery, please contact the FBI at 915-832-5000.
