Police say man appeared to be wearing a mask, one glove
FRANKLIN LAKES -- A masked man apparently planned to rob a Franklin Lakes Road bank, but left when he saw the tellers were behind security glass, police said Thursday.
The man showed up at the Chase Bank branch around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday wearing a medical glove on one hand and what appeared to be a mask, according to a statement from Lt. John Bakelaar.
"He had run into the bank, looked around and after seeing that the tellers were all behind security glass, left the scene," Bakelaar said.
