Sandy Springs Bank Robbery Suspect Remains At Large

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- The man the FBI believes is behind a December 2016 bank robbery in Sandy Springs has been connected to a similar incident occurring just a month earlier in Chattanooga.

The agency's Atlanta Field Office is once again asking the public to identify the subject responsible for the Nov. 21, 2016, robbery of First Citizens Bank in the Tennessee border city as well as a Wells Fargo robbery in Sandy Springs.

Around 11:57 a.m., law enforcement officials responded to the robbery at 1611 Gunbarrel Road in Chattanooga. Reports indicate the male entered First Citizens Bank, brandished a silver and black semi-automatic firearm and demanded money.

The male wore a surgical or respirator type mask around his neck and witnesses observed the suspect getting into a vehicle described as a 2009 to 2013 charcoal grey four door Acura TSX. The car, according to witnesses, was driven by a black female wearing a red baseball cap. She was described as being in her late 20's with a small build.
