Few Clues In Friday's Chase Bank Robbery, Thief Sought

DULUTH, GA — The Gwinnett County Police Department needs the public’s help in identifying a bank robber. On Friday at around 5 p.m., a man walked into the Chase Bank at 3780 Old Norcross Road in unincorporated Duluth. He asked if he could open an account.

Before an employee was available, he left the bank. He later returned holding a business card in his mouth. He approached a teller and handed her a note. The note demanded a large amount of cash. While she was getting the cash, the suspect was tapping a metal object against the counter. The teller thought it was a gun, however no weapon was seen.

After he received the cash, he walked out the door towards the Kroger grocery store. No one saw a vehicle.
