A 59-year-old man, Shannon Eric Steckbeck, has been charged with robbery, theft by unlawful taking, and receiving stolen property after allegedly robbing the First National Bank in Manchester Township, York County, last Friday (November 21). According to the Northern York County Regional Police Department, Steckbeck entered the bank around 10 a.m., asked for a deposit slip, and then left when another customer entered. He returned shortly after and demanded the teller give him "everything in the drawers," implying he had a weapon, though none was shown.
Steckbeck fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash, heading north on North George Street in a black Volkswagen sedan. Police found the vehicle outside the Inn of York early Saturday morning, but Steckbeck was not present. He was later located and arrested without incident at the Days Inn on Arsenal Road.
Steckbeck, who has a history of bank robberies, is being held in York County Prison on a $50,000 bail. His criminal past includes a 2017 robbery in Columbia, where he confessed to the crime. The investigation into the recent robbery is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information to contact the Northern York County Regional Police Department.
