Police ID bank robbery suspect

Providence Police have a warrant out for the arrest of a bank robbery suspect.

Detectives believe 38-year-old Dennis R. Tasker is the man who walked into a Sovereign Bank at 212 Thayer Street around 11:00 A.M. Tuesday, walked up to a teller and showed a note reading, "I have a gun, give me the money." The robber did not show the gun.

Tasker is described as 5' 9", 150 lbs., and white.

The police's original description of the robber was a white male, clean shaven, blue eyes, about 5' 8" tall, 20-30 years old, wearing a light blue shirt with stripes, tan pants, and a blue cap.

After getting the cash, the robber ran off.

The case is also featured on the Rhode Island's Most Wanted web site.
