NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- Authorities are seeking a New Jersey bank robbery suspect seen on surveillance video as a red dye pack exploded during his escape.
Newark public safety officials said the male suspect walked into a Capital One branch at about 10 a.m. Saturday and passed a note to a teller saying he had a gun and demanding money.
Officials said the teller gave him money including a dye pack.
Officials released surveillance video showing the suspect walking east outside the bank wearing the backpack, but as he starts to cross a street beyond the bank property the dye pack sends up a red cloud and he runs north out of camera view.
Officials said $2,300 cash was taken along with the dye pack, which contained another $200.
