print friendly

A man passed a note demanding money to a teller at the Wachovia Bank branch near the intersection of N.C. Highway 50 and N.C. Highway 42 Monday morning, a sheriff's office spokeswoman said.

The man, who was described as slim, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and wearing a dark, hooded sweatshirt and bandanna over his face, left the bank in an older white Mustang.

No other details about the alleged robbery were available.

Man, this bank hasn't been there long has it? Maybe a year or so? Hope they catch him.

terribletaste - Ha ha! My sentiments exactly!

luckn4u2 - You clearly don't understand who the victims are of bank robberies - and you also clearly have never been the victim of a crime, or else your attitude would be different. And just for the record, it's not Meg Philips, it's Meg Scott PHIPPS. Next time you want to go on a political tirade, at least know what you're talking about.

luckn4u2?

Why do you have to turn this tragedy into a political statement? I bet it was you who robbed the bank. :)

luckn4u2, maybe you need to come and sit in a teller chair and be the one who gets the note not knowing if they are about to pull a gun and blow your brains out if you make one mistake

I hope he gets away,the democrats are robbing the taxpayers of nc and get away with it,so if a person choses to take a chance and go for it, then I wish them well.The Jim Blacks,Meg Philips,etc can rob this state of funds that are meant for the taxpayers,then what difference is that of someone handing a teller a note.Sure they were caught, but what if they hadn't been..
