Glendale police are actively seeking the public's assistance in identifying and locating a suspect wanted for bank fraud involving approximately $250,000. The incident centers on an elderly out-of-state victim whose bank account was compromised through a sophisticated phone scam. According to the Glendale Police Department, the suspect contacted the victim by telephone, falsely claiming that an unauthorized transaction had occurred on the victim's bank card. The individual stated that a code sent to the victim's phone was required to dispute the charge. Using this pretext, the suspect obtained the necessary code to access the victim's account and subsequently executed four large withdrawals. These transactions took place on May 5 at the Chase Bank branch located at North 57th Drive and West Glendale Avenue in Glendale. Detectives have released surveillance images of the suspect, describing him as wearing a white button-up shirt, a suit, and a tie. Police emphasize that the suspect is currently at large and have issued a public appeal for information that could lead to his arrest. Authorities stress that community assistance is critical to securing justice for the elderly victim who suffered significant financial loss. Investigators are urging anyone who recognizes the suspect or has information regarding his whereabouts to come forward immediately. Residents with potential tips are asked to contact the Glendale Police Department directly at 623-930-3000. Alternatively, anonymous tips can be submitted by calling 480-948-6377. The investigation remains ongoing as detectives continue to analyze evidence and follow up on leads. The public is reminded not to approach the suspect but to provide any relevant information to law enforcement authorities to aid in the apprehension of the individual responsible for this fraud.
