MECKLENBURG COUNTY NC NEWS -- On September 7, 2007, at approximately 11:53 a.m., the SunTrust Bank located at 4441 The Plaza, Charlotte, North Carolina, was robbed. Three males exited a Champagne-colored Dodge Durango SUV and entered the bank via a rear entrance. It is believed that another individual, not further described, remained behind in the SUV while the robbery took place.
All of the perpetrators who entered the bank were armed with semi-automatic pistols and revolvers. The bank robbers subsequently went behind the bank counter and removed money from the teller drawers. The perpetrators then fled the scene in the SUV with an undisclosed amount of money. About thirty minutes to one hour later, the SUV was discovered abandoned approximately two blocks from the bank. Subsequent investigation determined that the SUV had been reported stolen in Charlotte, on or about August 26, 2007.
No shots were fired during the robbery. However, following the robbery, one of the bank customers was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital for examination for a possible stress-induced condition. Otherwise, no one was injured during the robbery. The three bank robbers who entered the bank were described as being black males, two of whom were about 5'9" to 10" in height and one of whom was about 5'3" to 4" in height. All three males obscured their appearances with white head coverings. Investigators from the FBI Safe Streets Task Force and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department responded to the robbery and are still investigating.
