Winnsboro Dept. of Public Safety seeks robbery suspect

WINNSBORO – The Winnsboro Department of Public Safety is seeking information on the identity of a man suspected of an armed robbery of First Citizens Bank in Winnsboro on Oct. 12.

A black male wearing a Batman hat and a Bob Marley t-shirt handed a bank teller a note demanding money shortly before 6 p.m., according to an incident report.

Witnesses who were in the bank during the robbery reported that the suspect left the bank on foot and turned to the right. A video on the outside of the bank shows the suspect walking through the drive-thru area outside the bank.

Anyone with information on the identity of this suspect is being asked to contact Lieutenant Mike Carrell at (803) 635-4511.
