The FBI is requesting the public’s help identifying and locating the individual or individuals responsible for the Wednesday of a Midway bank.
At about 3:20 p.m. Wednesday, a man holding a black semi-automatic handgun entered the Heritage Bank at 248 Butler Avenue in Midway and announced a robbery, said Special Agent Stephen Emmett, spokesman for the FBI’s Atlanta office.
The robber, carrying a white or light tan canvas bag, obtained an undisclosed amount of money and left the bank, possibly in a gray Ford Crown Victoria, Emmett said.
The FBI describes the robber as a black male who is 25-35 years old, stands 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, has a slender build, and was wearing a black V-neck shirt, light blue baseball-style cap and a black partial face mask. He was also wearing distinctive baby blue ankle-high athletic shoes.
In conjunction with the bank surveillance photos of the known robber, the FBI is releasing bank surveillance photos of a person of interest possibly associated in this matter. Earlier on the day of the robbery, an unknown man, wearing a white tank top and a wool cap with Atlanta Braves logo appeared at the teller counter of the above bank. This same individual was observed about one hour prior the above robbery at the IGA grocery store, located across the street from the victim bank, according to the FBI.
Anyone with information on this robbery or these individuals should contact CrimeStoppers Savannah at 912-234-2020 or the Atlanta office of the FBI at 404-679-9000 or Atlanta@ic.fbi.gov.
