Mableton Bank Robbed

The Cobb County Police Department seeks the public's assistance.

An armed robber today hit a Mableton bank, and the Cobb County Police Department needs help locating her.

Just before 12:15 p.m., a black woman wearing a green pullover hooded jacket and a dark coat approached tellers at the Best Bank inside the Kroger at 4875 Floyd Rd.,Β said Officer Mike Bowman, the spokesman for the Cobb County Police Department.

"She then produced a demand note and made verbal demands for the money as she indicated that she was armed with a handgun," he said. "The employees complied with the demands of the perpetrator and after receiving an undisclosed amount of cash, she fled in an unknown direction."
