News release from the FBI

Atlanta -  At 10:16 a.m. today, 11/2/09, two black males entered the Suntrust Bank, 3603 Chamblee Tucker Rd., Tucker, GA, and announced a bank robbery.

At least one black semi auto handgun was brandished.  At one point, one of the robbers placed the gun to the head of a bank customer and pointed it directly at a bank teller. 

During the take over style robbery, a bank employee was pulled from a side office and was shot in the leg. 

The first robber is described as an African American male, 6'0- 6'2", slender build, facial hair, possibly wearing a wig, ball cap, orange shirt/long sleeved.

The second robber is described as an African American male, 5'8", stocky build.  Both departed on foot but they are believed to have jumped into a black/dark blue mini van. 

The FBI and Dekalb PD are investigating.  Anyone with information should call the FBI at (404) 679-9000.
