Police continue search for Wednesday bank robbers

By Nicole Young • The Tennessean • December 16, 2009

Metro Police and the FBI are looking for three suspects who robbed Fifth Third Bank’s Nashboro Village branch on Murfreesboro Pike Wednesday afternoon.

Three masked men, one described as heavyset and two others described as having medium builds, entered the bank at 4:48 p.m. and demanded cash.

At least one of the men was armed with a shotgun, police said.

Tellers complied with the robbery demand.

As the suspects fled the bank, dye bombs exploded, causing the men to drop some of the money, police said.

Witnesses at the scene did not report seeing a getaway car.

Anyone with information regarding the robbery is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 74-CRIME.
