Security cameras caught this image of the Sun Trust Bank robbery suspect. The same suspect apparently robbed the First Piedmont Bank at 901 E. Main St. around 9:50 Monday morning. The public is urged to call in tips on the suspect’s identity to Crime Stoppers at 888-CRIMESC or Text TIP649 to CRIMES (274637).
Spartanburg Public Safety officers, Spartanburg County Sheriff’s deputies and FBI agents all responded to a second bank robbery on Spartanburg’s East Side just four days after another bank was hit last Thursday.
The First Piedmont branch at 901 E. Main St. was robbed about 9:50 Monday morning by a white male matching the same description as the suspect in the Sun trust robbery from last week, according to a press statement from Public Safety Lt. Regina Nowak.
The suspect is described as a white male between 45 and 50 years old, around 5’9” to 6’)’’ tall and weighing around 175 pounds. The suspect entered the bank and presented a teller with a note demanding money. The teller placed money in a plastic bag before the suspect left the bank and entered a burgundy or maroon Toyota pickup and headed east on East Main Street.
