Bank Robbery Under Investigation In Sandy Springs

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- The Sandy Springs Police Department is investigating a bank robbery reported last week along Roswell Road. Officers were dispatched to the burglary around 2:46 p.m. Friday, Sept. 22 at Regions Bank at 6637 Roswell Road.

They arrived on the scene and met with a teller and branch manager, who both said the suspect came in, stood in line and waited to be called upon by an employee. The teller called the subject to the counter and "at this time, the suspect placed his items on the counter to include a note," according to an incident report released by Sandy Springs police said.

The note told the teller to "give me large bills only no bait money you have 30 seconds," the report added (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts. Or, if you have an iPhone, download the free Patch app).
