GLASGOW

The Glasgow Police Department is investigating a Thursday morning bank robbery at the South Central Bank branch on Happy Valley Road.

Officers received a call about the incident at 10:06 a.m., according to Capt. Kent Keen, GPD public information officer. No weapons were seen or presented and the suspect allegedly demanded money using a note. There was no information on if or how much money may have been taken.

Debbie, who asked that her last name not be revealed, said she was an eye witness to the bank robbery. She watched the scene play out through the drive-through teller’s window.

“When I was pulling into the parking lot I saw him walking up the street but didn’t think anything of it,” she said. “Then I pulled around to the teller window and I could see him inside.”

This is the second time in less than two weeks that a robber has struck a South Central Bank branch locally. On Aug. 26, an individual entered the branch on U.S. 31E south of Glasgow and also demanded money with a note.

It occurred to Debbie when she saw the man through the window Thursday — in a ball cap and sunglasses — that he resembled an image released to the media of a suspected bank robber who hit the U.S. 31E branch.

“I thought then that it looked like him, what I had seen, but you know, I didn’t know, but I just had that thought,” she said.

It wasn’t until she saw the mayhem that ensued after he exited the building that she was sure the bank had been robbed.

“That’s when I saw them (the tellers) freaking out. They really started to freak,” said Debbie.

She herself was also struck with fear upon calculating the event she had just witnessed.

“I just pulled off to the side here. I didn’t want him to see me. I thought maybe he’d come up to the vehicle or see the car,” she said. “I didn’t want him to see me.”

Keen said the description they have on the suspect in Thursday’s theft was similar to last week’s. He said the person was wearing a yellow, long-sleeved shirt, khaki pants, a white ball cap and sunglasses. He is a white male, early- to mid-20s and between 5 foot 10 and 6 feet tall.

Debbie said the man she saw “was dressed in a really nice dress shirt that was pale yellow and he had on khaki pants, sunglasses and a ball cap.” He was walking in the direction of U.S 31E bypass.

There is no evidence right now that the suspect is a disgruntled employee, according to Keen, but all possibilities are being pursued.

Still shaken, Debbie added, “I’m just glad no one was hurt.”
