Man Robs Bank of America on Monroe Road

A few minutes before 5:00 pm, a lone black male robbed the Bank of America branch, located at 9700 Monroe Road.
Police say the man entered the bank and approached one of the bank tellers. He grabbed an undisclosed amount of currency from the teller area and ran out of the bank.
The suspect was last observed running from the bank on Monroe Road in the direction of Sardis Road North. No weapon was observed or displayed during the robbery and there were no injuries.
The suspect is described as a black male with medium-brown skin tone, approximately 6'0" to 6'1" in height, thin build, 40's in age, with a beard and moustache. At the time of the robbery, the suspect was wearing a dark-colored Panthers cap, a dark-gray shirt, and a black jacket.
Investigators from the FBI Charlotte Safe Streets Task Force and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department responded to the robbery and are investigating this matter. If you have any information regarding this case, please contact the FBI at (704) 377-9200.

It's high time banks require all headgear to be removed before one can even ENTER a bank....for those who claim headgear is part and parcel with their religious beliefs, there are always the drive-up teller services available.

My bank is located in Cotswold. Last week I had some business to take care of in the South Boulevard area. My bank (same bank just different area of town) off South Boulevard has a buzzer between the exterior door and the lobby door. Once in the lobby you have to be "buzzed" in. You then walk thru a metal detector.
