SUSPECTS SOUGHT IN ARMED BANK ROBBERY

CARY, NC – The Town of Cary is seeking help in capturing suspects involved in an armed robbery of a bank in south Cary. At approximately 3:15 PM, Cary Police received an armed robbery call from the Wachovia Bank at 101 Edinburgh South in the MacGregor Village. Two black males wearing masks and wielding hand guns robbed the bank of an undisclosed amount of money. No injuries were reported and no shots were fired.

One armed suspect was wearing a small white cloth around his face with white gloves and white pants carrying a shoulder bag. The second suspect was wearing a black face mask, dark running jacket, sweatpants with a stripe down the leg, and also wielding a semi-automated hand gun.

They arrived in a new model bronze-colored Buick LeSabre Custom. This vehicle was reported stolen out of the City of Raleigh and was left parked in an adjacent parking lot. It is believed that the suspects either used a second vehicle or left on foot to get away.
