An armed suspect, described as wearing a mask and gloves, remains at large following an armed robbery outside a Wells Fargo branch in Northwest Omaha. The incident occurred Monday afternoon around 3 p.m. when the suspect approached an armored truck driver near the intersection of Maple and Emmet Streets. According to the Omaha Police Department, the individual brandished a firearm, robbed the driver of an unknown amount of money, and subsequently fled the scene on foot. Reports indicate the suspect traveled westbound along Maple Street before disappearing into the surrounding area. Investigators from the Omaha Police Department, including Lt. Kyle Steffen, are actively canvassing the neighborhood and reviewing surveillance video from the bank and adjacent businesses to reconstruct the timeline and identify potential witnesses. It remains unclear whether the suspect had been casing the location prior to the robbery. As of Monday evening, law enforcement has not located the individual and continues to search for him. The branch manager declined to comment on the incident, and corporate communications for Wells Fargo had not responded to requests for information. The Omaha Police Department is asking the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity in the vicinity. Anyone with information regarding the suspect’s whereabouts or details about the armed robbery is encouraged to contact the Omaha Police Department directly to assist with the ongoing investigation.
