Home Savings hit with city’s 19th bank robbery

Another bank was held up Wednesday in the 19th such incident of the year. 

 

This incident equaled Madison's 2001 record of 19 bank robberies in one year. 

 

According to police, a 50-to 60-year-old black male allegedly entered the Home Savings at 2 S. Carroll St.  

 

The man then demanded an unspecified amount of money, and implied he had a weapon.  

 

He escaped on foot toward West Washington Avenue, according to a statement from the police. He is currently at large.  

 

Tuesday, a suspect reportedly held up Chase Bank on Milwaukee Street in Madison.
