Northern York County Regional Police Department
Bank Robbery – Suspect Identified and Arrested
Case #2025-050956
On November 21, 2025 at 1006 hours, the Northern York County Regional Police Department responded to a reported bank robbery at First National Bank, located at 55 Arsenal Road, Manchester Township.
Bank employees reported that a male, believed to be in his 50s, entered the bank and approached the teller counter. He asked for something to write on and was given a deposit slip. When another customer entered, the male became visibly flustered, stated he had forgotten something in his vehicle, and exited the bank. After the customer left, the male returned a short time later.
Upon re-entering, the male approached a teller and asked if she could “do him a favor,” before instructing her to give him “everything in the drawers” and not to activate the panic alarm. The male insinuated that he possessed a weapon; however, no weapon was displayed.
The suspect fled the bank on foot toward North George Street with an undisclosed amount of cash. He then entered a vehicle parked nearby and fled the area northbound on North George Street.
Officers quickly identified the suspect as Shannon Eric Steckbeck, age 59, of Harrisburg. Steckbeck was believed to be operating a black Volkswagen sedan with a known Pennsylvania registration.
In the early morning hours of November 22, 2025, NYCRPD patrol officers located Steckbeck’s vehicle in the parking lot of the Inn of York, 222 Arsenal Road. Steckbeck was not located at that hotel. Officers continued searching the area and were able to track Steckbeck to the Days Inn, 334 Arsenal Road, where he was taken into custody without incident.
Steckbeck was transported to Central Booking for arraignment on the following charges:
- Robbery
- Theft by Unlawful Taking
- Receiving Stolen Property
This incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Northern York County Regional Police Department at 717-292-3647, through our tip line at 717-467-TELL, or via email at tips@nycrpd.org.
