In a press release, the Breckenridge Police Department said it has received numerous tips from the public. Investigators with the Breckenridge Police Department are following up on those leads, as well as, reviewing extensive video surveillance and photos of the incident.

According to the Breckenridge Police Department, a white male, about six feet tall, approached a Loomis guard in the vestibule of the bank at about 2:40 p.m. The male was armed with a small handgun and demanded a bag that was in the possession of the guard be handed over to him.
