Gastonia Bank Robbery

UPDATE: Gastonia police have made an arrest in a robbery which happened at a Wachovia bank Monday morning. They have arrested and charged Travis Carter, 25, of Barkley Street in Gastonia. Carter is being held in the Gaston County Jail. In addition to Monday's bank robbery, he is also charged with a robbery at the CVS on Court Drive which happened Friday.

Isn't it amazing how clear surveillance photos are? Not always I know- but it seems in the recent local bank robberies, we have some pretty good shots of the suspects.

A Wachovia branch located at 110 Franklin Boulevard in Gaston County was robbed this morning around 10:50. Police said the robber was by himself and threatened to use a gun during the robbery, although he never showed one.

Police said he fled the scene on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. Police released surveillance photos of the suspect in hopes that someone may recognize him. No one was hurt in the robbery.

If you recognize this man, please call Gaston County Crime Stoppers @ 704-861-8000.
