Report: Man Uses Note To Rob Cartersville Bank

The Cartersville Police Department is investigating a robbery in which the suspect apparently used a note to obtain money from a bank.

Initially, deputies with the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office responded to Renasant Bank at 420 Old Mill Road in Cartersville just after 9:20 a.m. Tuesday in reference to the robbery.

According to The Daily News Tribune, Bartow sheriff’s office spokesperson Sgt. Jonathan Rogers said the man passed the teller a note, jumped onto the counter, reached into the drawer and snatched an undisclosed amount of money.

The suspect is described as a black man who stands around six feet tall, according to the article. He was wearing all black — with a black cap and a mask covering a portion of his face — and was seen leaving the bank on foot towards Highway 113.

Rogers told the newspaper the suspect possibly stuffed the stolen money into his pockets as he made his getaway because deputies recovered cash along the route the man took.

The case was turned over to Cartersville police once the bank informed deputies they’d been annexed into the city, The Daily Tribune News states.
