Update: Police release photo of man wanted for questioning in bank robberies

Wichita police are asking for the public’s assistance in finding a person of interest in two bank robberies.

Police want to question Mack Colvin Jr., a 31-year-old man, about a Tuesday robbery at Wheat State Credit Union and a Dec. 13 robbery at Fidelity Bank, Officer Charley Davidson said in a release.

Colvin is considered armed and dangerous.

A man pulled out a handgun, pointed it at employees and demanded cash Tuesday morning at the Wheat State Credit Union in the 1400 block of South Oliver, Davidson said. After he was handed cash, he left in a black Volkswagen Passat.

Last Wednesday, a man robbed the Fidelity Bank in the 1300 block of North Woodlawn at gunpoint. Police said he also used pepper spray. No injuries were reported.

No injuries were reported in Tuesday’s robbery and it wasn’t immediately known if any customers were in the bank at the time, Davidson said. Officers went to the Wheat State Credit Union at around 10:15 a.m.

People with information on Colvin are asked to contact the FBI, 911, the Wichita police robbery division at 316-268-4518 or Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111.
