UPPER DARBY — Township police didn’t get their man but they did recover the lion’s share of the loot stolen from the bank.
The township’s street sweeper gobbled up $3,474 mixed in with the fallen leaves.
The Dec. 6 holdup at the Citizens Bank, 4221 Ferne Blvd., Drexel Hill, had police on the lookout for the lone robber who fled on foot with $5,385.
Investigators released a surveillance photo the next day of the bank robber who allegedly threatened the teller demanding she place cash from her drawer in a white bag.
“Police found $30 outside the bank,” police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said. “On Tuesday an Upper Darby School District bus driver found $542, stained with red dye, in the street on Valley Road.
“We learned the township’s street sweeper was in the neighborhood on Monday so we searched the sweeper and found $3,474 inside. It’s amazing. The money was in the leaves in the gutter and swept up by the street sweeper. A total of $4,046 was recovered. We’re still seeking the identity of the robber.”
