This afternoon, November 5, 2007, at approximately 10:20 a.m., a lone black male entered the Wachovia Bank, located at 1200 Dogwood Road, Conyers, Georgia, and, while brandishing a handgun, announced a robbery.  During the robbery, the robber jumped over the teller counter and began taking money from several teller stations.

The robber then drove off in what was described as a newer model mid sized vehicle with tinted windows. Several of the dye stained bills were thrown out of the car as the robber, and possibly another individual, drove away.  Additionally, a uniformed police officer working an auto accident nearby caught the vehicle on his in-car dash camera and that video is currently being reviewed.
