Police in Sandy, Utah are investigating a bank robbery involving a suspect they believe is an Iraq War veteran.
Police describe the suspect as a white man wearing dark clothing (including gloves and a full face ski mask and back pack) who entered the branch at Washington Mutual on Monday. According to police, the suspect demanded that the teller give him money, that he had a gun and would shoot her if the money was not produced quickly. The teller gave him some cash from the till, but the robber demanded more. She was able to locate more cash which the suspect took.
Police say the suspect fled the building and ran to his getaway vehicle. Witnesses saw him leave the area in a white Dodge Durango with over sized tires and a lift with Utah license plate (A408B).
Detectives believe the suspect is a Codie Carver, 24 yrs white male 5'11" 180 lbs. Detectives are pursuing additional leads to try and determine his location.
Carver is a former U.S. Marine who served in the Iraq War. Carver's family made a plea through the media on Tuesday for him to come forward and turn himself in.
Carver’s family says he has been suffering from Post Traumatic Stress disorder and financial problems.
