                                     COLONIAL BANK ROBBER TURNS HIMSELF IN

On September 29, 2009 at approximately 10:30 am a unidentified white male entered into the Colonial Bank located at 900 Village Trail in Port Orange and handed the bank teller a note which implied that he had a firearm. He demanded that the bank teller put all of the money in a bag, and he relayed to the bank teller that he was “desperate”. The bank teller handed an undisclosed amount of money to the unidentified white male along with a dye pack. The unidentified white male was last observed driving from the area in a black in color vehicle. 

The Regional Communications Center then received a 911 call at 10:48 am from a male who stated that he had just committed a bank robbery and wanted to turn himself in to authorities. He provided the name of Tony Olea , along with a date of birth as well as his vehicle description and current location which was the Chevron gas station at S.R. 44 and I-95 in New Smyrna Beach. Tony Olea, 3009 Lime Tree Drive, Edgewater, was still on the phone when Port Orange Police Detective Eric Fields and the Volusia County Sheriff’s Department arrived on scene. A bank teller was driven to the location and positively identified 42-year-old Oleo as the bank robber. Detective Eric Fields placed Tony Oleo under arrest for Robbery and after processing he was transported to VCBJ under a $ 20,000.00 bond. The stolen bank money was recovered inside of Tony Oleo’s motor vehicle, which is a 2006, black, Volkswagen, Jetta. 

Anyone with pertinent information is asked to contact Detective Eric Fields at # 506-5893.
