Man ran from business after demanding money
The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information from the public in an effort to arrest the suspect who robbed the USF Credit Union on Clark Road on Friday, June 20, the agency has announced.
The business is located at 3487 Clark Road, a Sheriff’s Office news release noted.
At approximately 12:04 p.m. on June 20, the release said, a dark-skinned male “entered the bank and demanded money from a teller. He then left the business and ran northbound towards Bronx Avenue. No one was injured and an undisclosed amount of money was taken,” the release added.
The credit union stands west of the intersection of Clark and Beneva roads; it is east of South Lockwood Ridge Road, a map shows. Bronx Avenue is a neighborhood street that runs between Clark Road and Fox Run Road to the north. The building stands on a parcel that comprises not quite 0.9 acres, as noted in the Sarasota County Property Appraiser’s Office records.
In response to a Sarasota News Leader inquiry on June 25, Dana Judge, the agency’s media relations specialist, wrote, “I was told that detectives are still actively trying to find additional evidence and identify a suspect.”
Anyone with information regarding this crime is encouraged to contact the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Section at 941-861-4900 or CrimeStoppers at 941-366-8477, the news release said.
