Wachovia Bank Robbery on Hovis Road

Around 10:45 this morning, three masked robbers entered the Wachovia Bank located at 5641 Hovis Road. A fourth suspect remained outside the bank in a getaway van. Police say the van the robbers used during the robbery was reported stolen and they recovered it a short time later. All four suspects are black males wearing dark clothing.

As you can see from photos taken by surveillance cameras, the men didn't enter the bank silently. The robbers forced all customers and employees to the ground during the robbery. In one photo, you can see two of the robbers handling a victim. The police haven't said what exactly happened during the bank robbery- but the photos say a lot. Thankfully, there were no injuries.
