Lindale Bank Robbery Suspect May Be Overseas

LINDALE — Authorities have identified a suspect in the September 12 robbery of Lindale’s Capital One Bank as Anthony Rios, 43, of Lindale — but finding him may not be easy. Lindale police say his car has been found in an airport parking garage in Dallas, and they say red dye from the bank robbery was found inside the car. It is believed Rios was on a flight to the Philippines.

According to KETK, the Lindale Police Department received several tips on the possible identity of the robber. Authorities were able to identify him by following up on leads from the public. A search warrant was issued for a residence on the 16000 block of Timberwood, just outside of Lindale, as well as for a 2003 Toyota Celica. An aggravated robbery warrant has been issued for Rios.
