A Deptford Police Department K-9 Unit responded to the scene, but was unable to find the man who was believed to have fled the area in a vehicle.
Friday's bank heist, though completely unrelated, is one of several that have taken the area by storm in recent months. Police arrested a man in August who they believe is responsible for four bank robberies in Gloucester County over the summer.
The robbery is being investigated by the Deptford Police Department Criminal Investigations Division detectives with assistance by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Gloucester County Prosecutor's office Crime Scene Unit.
Police ask anyone with information about the incident to contact Deptford police Det. Sandra Reid at 856-845-6300 ext. 1238.
