Nervous Robber Drops Cash During Hold-upCharlotte, NC – The Charlotte FBI Safe Streets Task Force needs the public’s assistance tracking down a man who robbed the SunTrust Bank at 7801 Pineville-Matthews Road this morning. Witnesses describe the robber as a white man, between 25 and 35 years old, about 5’6” and about 170 pounds. They say he had a black mask covering his face and was armed with a gun. Tellers say the suspect became increasingly nervous and kept demanding money; getting louder and more vulgar during the robbery. He also dropped a large amount of cash on the floor before running out of the bank.
