LAUREL POLICE INVESTIGATING BANK ROBBERY AT FULTON BANK
Laurel, DE - On July 29, 2024, the Laurel Police Department made a public announcement that an incident occurred at the Fulton Bank, 30204 Sussex Highway, in Laurel, Delaware. The following is an update to the investigation as it stands at this time.
On July 29, 2024, at approximately 9:28 a.m., Laurel Police Department units were dispatched to the Fulton Bank regarding a robbery alarm activation. It was soon determined that the suspect had already fled the area, and units secured the scene to conduct an investigation.
The initial investigation revealed that a black male subject had entered the bank and presented a demand note to one of the tellers.
