Bank Teller Survival Tips 10-28-09.... Posted 10-28-09
Stop and think a minute; while you're reading these robbery up-dates there is a stolen car parked by your bank entrance, backed in, no license plates, engine running, with 3 armed gangsters with masks on their laps, smoking crack checking out the bank security measures and waiting for the armored truck to leave, just take a peek out the window, call the Police or cross your fingers.
News release from the FBI
Atlanta - At 10:16 a.m. today, 11/2/09, two black males entered the Suntrust Bank, 3603 Chamblee Tucker Rd., Tucker, GA, and announced a bank robbery.
At least one black semi auto handgun was brandished. At one point, one of the robbers placed the gun to the head of a bank customer and pointed it directly at a bank teller.
During the take over style robbery, a bank employee was pulled from a side office and was shot in the leg.
The first robber is described as an African American male, 6'0- 6'2", slender build, facial hair, possibly wearing a wig, ball cap, orange shirt/long sleeved.
The second robber is described as an African American male, 5'8", stocky build. Both departed on foot but they are believed to have jumped into a black/dark blue mini van.
The FBI and Dekalb PD are investigating. Anyone with information should call the FBI at (404) 679-9000.

The search is on for a bank robber who robbed a busy Madison County bank in broad daylight.
The robber hit the Madison Bank on Main Street just after it opened this morning.
Police say the man pointed a gun at two clerks and then took off on foot with an undisclosed amount of money.
He possibly got into a green Dodge Intrepid.
The suspect is described as a black man, standing about 6 foot to 6'2'' with a heavy build.
He was wearing a dark hoodie and had a fake beard.
Richmond Police say the same description was used in the robbery of a Cash Express last week.
They are now trying to determine if the same robber is responsible for both.
