The Liberty branch of Liberty state bank was robbed by a person wearing a hoodie and carrying a gun Wednesday morning. The robber, described as a white male, five feet, six inches to five feet, ten inches tall and wearing a black jacket with a hood at the time of the caper, reportedly made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.
According to Sheriff Patrick Ray, the robber, believed to be a man, ran into the bank just after 8 a.m. He reportedly approached a teller and brandished a firearm. The teller apparently gave the robber an undisclosed amount of money, and he fled on foot with the cash.
The DeKalb County Sheriff's Department and the FBI are investigating the case. It was first believed that the robber was wearing a red jacket, but further investigation revealed that a poor quality photo from a surveillance camera at the bank had only made his black outerwear appear to be red. The sheriff said the robber was wearing a black jacket with a black hood at the time of the incident.
