WESTFIELD – Employees arriving for work at the First Niagra Bank on Broad Street Friday morning suspected that something was amiss when they found blood on the shattered glass door but, before long, realized that no attempt had been made to rob the bank.
Officer David Racicot was the first officer to arrive at the bank after the 8:06 a.m. call and found that a cleaning person had apparently broken the glass door to regain entry after he locked himself out of the bank.
Racicot’s report was incomplete pending a report from the bank’s security department but Lt. Michael Ugolik reported late in the afternoon that police were still waiting to hear from the bank to learn the name of the cleaning company and the identity of the culpable employee.
Ugolik said that an informal review of the banks’ security video showed the cleaner break the glass to get back into the bank and then vacuum up the shards from the floor before leaving the bank, apparently without notifying anyone of his actions.
