Two men brandish a gun while robbing the Sovereign Bank in Woodlynne. The FBI is searching for them.
Most robbers put on a mask or hoodie—not dress up like someone from the Village People to stick up a bank. The FBI and Camden County Prosecutor’s Office are searching for a pair of bank robbers, one dressed rather creatively, who held up at gunpoint the Sovereign Bank in Woodlynne on Feb. 27. The bank sits near the border of the West Collingswood extension in Haddon Township. The pair entered the bank at 2400 Mount Ephraim Avenue at 10:20 a.m. and confronted a teller in the lobby. They displayed a firearm and followed her to the counter, where they received an undisclosed amount of cash. Both fled, likely on foot. The two men are described as 5 feet, 6 inches to 5 feet, 8 inches tall with medium builds. One wore a yellow PSE&G hardhat, …

A visit to the bank turns a doctor into a hero.
Haddonfield orthodontist Dr. Ron Clark was honored by the borough police department Tuesday for doing something Police Chief John Banning said he’d never recommend to a civilian. After being forced at gunpoint to the floor of The Bank during a July 28, 2010 robbery, Clark followed the robber on foot and was able to identify him as the getaway driver to police. Because of Clark’s help, Banning said at Tuesday's regular meeting of borough commissioners, the department was able to make arrests on the bank robbery and two burglaries. “I never thought I was putting myself in danger,” Clark said. “You guys are always there protecting us. I didn’t want to be there. I should have called 911 a block sooner, but I though you’d show up sooner." …

In an interview with Collingswood Patch, the wrestler known as Nick Gage said he's battled drug addiction for years.
Growing up, one of of Nicholas W. Wilson's heroes was Lawrence Taylor, the gifted but troubled pro football Hall of Famer and occasional professional wrester. Like "L.T." did on the field, Wilson has the seemingly superhuman ability to absorb punishment. And like Taylor, despite his success in professional sports, Wilson's personal demons overwhelmed him. Just a few months ago, Wilson, 30, was a big draw for Combat Zone Wrestling, a Philadelphia-based independent wrestling operation known for its ultraviolent matches. He wrestles under the name Nick "F'n" Gage, and among fans of hardcore wrestling, he's a hero. Now, he sits in the Camden County Jail, charged with robbing a PNC Bank branch in nearby Collingswood three days before …
