Chapel Hill Police Investigating Bank Robbery

***UPDATE: Chapel Hill Police say the getaway vehicle used may have been this white pickup truck***

Chapel Hill Police are looking for a suspect after a bank robbery on Thursday morning.

Chapel Hill Police Lieutenant Josh Mecimore says around 10:45 a suspect entered the SunTrust Bank near the corner of Fordham and Sage Road and demanded money.

“White male, approximately 5’10” and about 170 pounds came into the bank,” Mecimore says. “He was wearing shades, black blazer, black shirt, and black pants.”

Mecimore says no weapon was displayed but the teller did feel if she did not comply there would be consequences.

“The implication was certainly there that something bad would happen if they didn’t give him money,” Mecimore says. “And then he got an undisclosed amount of cash and left the bank on foot.”

Mecimore says a K-9 was used to track the suspect and showed police he fled toward Dobbins Hills Apartments before allegedly leaving the scene in a vehicle.

“She tracked a short distance away from the bank and then abruptly stops,” Mecimore says, “at a spot where it appeared a car had been parked.”

Authorities say no one was hurt in the robbery.
