Federal authorities are asking for the public’s assistance after a man reportedly held up a bank in Bridgeton, New Jersey, before fleeing the scene—on a bicycle.
The FBI’s Atlantic City office, part of its Newark division, says the robbery occurred shortly after 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, at Newfield National Bank, located at 720 Shiloh Pike in Cumberland County.
Investigators say the suspect pedaled into the bank’s parking lot on a blue bicycle, walked inside, and pulled a firearm on a teller while demanding cash. After taking an undisclosed amount of money, he exited the bank and escaped on the same bike.
