WHARTON, Texas -- A male bank robber dressed in women’s clothing held up a credit union in Wharton Wednesday.
The purse-carrying suspect sashayed into the Texas Gulf Credit Union at 2015 North Fulton Street around 1:45 p.m.
He pointed a snub-nosed revolver at the clerk and demanded money.
Witnesses described the robber as a dark-skinned black male, about 6 feet tall and 185 pounds. He’s believed to be in his mid-20s with a deep voice, large hands and large feet.
He was wearing a black wig with blonde highlights, a dark sweater, short pants, athletic shoes, and press-on French-manicured nails.
The robber fled with the cash, and a small silver sedan was seen leaving the bank shortly after the robbery. It has not been positively determined if that vehicle is connected to the crime.
If you have information about this robbery, please call the Houston office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation at 713-693-5000.
