Bank Robbery- Too Close for Comfort

[pennypinch]

Wow, a bank relatively close to where I live got robbed this morning!

The bank that got robbed is a Wesbanco Bank. The robber walked in the bank with a gun in his hand and demanded cash around 11 a.m. Tuesday morning. He then fled on foot.

This is actually the second time in just six months that this bank has been robbed!

The police immediately closed the bank and began an investigation but they do not have anyone in custody yet.

"We're covering all the bases. We're starting at the inner perimeter. We have a K-9 on scene from the Sheriff's Department and we'll spend most of the day into the evening searching for the individual".

All they really know about the robber so far is that it was a white male, medium build about 5'8". He wore a cloth over his face.

This is really scary. You just never know whether you are safe or not! I hope they catch this guy!

That particular bank gets hit quite often simply because it is a half a block to the bridge that goes from West Virginia where the bank is located to the Ohio line. Its a pretty easy get away for anyone wanting to rob it.

Its a shame that people resort to these kinds of activities and when you consider that there are cameras that will catch them as they are commiting the robbery, it just isnt too smart.

He will forget and wear the same outfit one day and that will be his downfall. Hopefully a witness will come forth with some information that will lead to an arrest.
