Have you seen this Cheltenham bank bandit?

Police today continued to search for a stained, would-be bank bandit who on Sunday held up a Montgomery Co. branch of Citizen's Bank.

Shortly before 1 p.m. in Cheltenham, a man entered the bank at the Cedarbrook Plaza on Easton Road, walked up to a teller and handed her a demand note that implied he was armed, police said.

The teller gave him a bag of money. But shortly after the bandit exited, a dyepack secreted in the bag exploded. He dropped the bag and fled north through the plaza, Cheltenham police said.

The suspect is described as being between 18 and 24-years-old, with a beard, about 5-foot-8 and 160 pounds. He had tattoos on his left arm and his right  was wrapped with an ace bandage and a glove.  He was last seen wearing a white baseball cap, a black T-shirt, light-colored shorts and a set of headphones around his neck.

Police said before the robbery, the suspect bought the ace bandage at the nearby Wal-Mart and sneakers and a white hat at the nearby Modell's.

Anyone with information is asked to call Cheltenham detectives at 215-885-1600 ext 499 or the Anonymous tip line at ext 777.
