MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Wells Fargo Bank was robbed in Southeast Memphis Thursday morning, according to the Memphis Police Department.
Officers say they responded to a bank robbery call at Wells Fargo Bank on 3611 Hacks Cross Road just before 9:20 a.m.
A bank teller says the man wearing a light colored bowie hat, a yellow construction vest, sunglasses, and a face mask came to the teller’s window and said, “This is a bank robbery, give me all the money.”
When the employee began to place the money into the slot, the suspect reportedly said, “Don’t play with me, give me everything.”
That is when the employee took all the money from the top drawer and gave it to the suspect. However, the employee says they were able to place a tracking device into the money before giving it to the suspect.
Another employee says that as they were walking into the bank, they saw the suspect walking out. The suspect is accused of telling the employee to “move b****” as they passed.
