A man reportedly entered the ACME Market in Runnemede about 1:10 p.m., went directly to the Citizens Bank inside the supermarket, and passed a threatening note to the teller, authorities said.
The man allegedly demanded cash in specific denominations and said he would shoot the teller if she did not comply, according to Camden County Prosecutor Jill Mayer and Runnemede Police Chief William Sampolski
The suspect was described as being white, about 6 feet tall, with a slim build, shaved head and blonde beard. He was wearing dark glasses and blue jeans, they said.
The suspect left the bank at 501 E. Evesham Road on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash, they said. Authorities did not say whether the man was actually armed when he threatened to shoot the teller.
