One Year Later: Search Continues For Suspect In Pen Air Robbery
December 10, 2013
The search is continuing for a suspect just over a year after the armed robbery of the Pen Air Federal Credit Union in Century. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said they have investigated a few new, unspecified leads since the robbery.
The credit union on North Century Boulevard was robbed about 1 p.m. on November 27, 2012, by a man demanding all of the money while claiming to have a gun.
The male suspect fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. He was described as a thin white male with wearing a hooded jacket and sunglasses. There were no injuries. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office quickly surrounded the bank with multiple units as they searched for the suspect. K-9 teams searched around the bank, including an area behind the U.S. Post Office next door.
After the robbery, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office released photos from a car wash in West Pensacola showing persons wanted for questioning in connection with the robbery. Photos were also released by the Sheriff’s Office of a shopper at CVS in Century, but deputies later determined the Century man in the photos was not connected with the Pen Air holdup.
Deputies also named a Century man as a person of interest in the robbery. He was later arrested in Santa Rosa County on unrelated outstanding warrants, but was not charged with the Pen Air robbery.
Surveillance photos and video from inside Pen Air, as well as surveillance photos from a West Pensacola car wash are below.

Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or Gulf Coast Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

Every now and then one will get away, for a little while.
Sheriff Morgan has shown dogged determination on our county’s cold cases.
They need a camera on counter at every teller window like at drive-up and take a picture with foot switch.Wake up banks or keep giving money away.
You would think that a bank would invest in a HD video surveillance system that provides clear video. This is worthless.
