| Description: | On Monday March 1, 2010, at approximately 12:54 pm, a man wearing a dark mask across the lower portion of his face and brandishing a silver-colored revolver entered the Cooper State Bank, 3245 N. High Street, Columbus, and told employees in a loud voice that he was robbing the bank and wanted money. The robber jumped over the counter and ordered tellers to place money into a plastic bag the man brought into the bank with him. While the tellers were complying, the robber yelled for the other employees to get down on the floor. Once the tellers had placed the money into the bag, the man took the money containing the money and fled the bank. The robber was described as a male, unknown race (light-skinned black male or a dark-skinned white male), approximately 20’s-30’s of age, 6′0″, thin build, dark eyes and dark, bushy eyebrows, wearing a dark hoodie, dark cloth across the lower portion of his face, blue jeans, dark gloves, and brandishing the silver revolver. Investigators believe that this may be the same man that robbed a Cooper State Bank on W. Fifth Avenue in Columbus back in April 2009 in a similar fashion |
