Seffner BB&T Bank Robbed

The sheriff's office has released a photo of the suspect in the Thursday morning crime.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is looking for help identifying the man it says robbed the BB&T Bank in Seffner early Thursday morning.

The man walked into the 1707 Parsons Ave. S. bank around 9:33 a.m., carrying a semi-automatic pistol, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Debbie Carter wrote in an email. He demanded money, got what he came for and left. Witnesses did not see what kind of vehicle the man was driving, they got a good description of him and surveillance shots were taken.

The man is described as being between 50 and 65 years of age. He stands between 5 foot, 3 inches and 5 foot, 6 inches in height and weighs between 130 and 150 pounds. He has white hair, a white beard and was last seen wearing a dark blue, long-sleeve shirt, dark shorts, white socks and black shoes.
