Bank robbery suspect sought

Chattanooga police are still searching for the suspect in the May 22 robbery of the Cohutta Bank at 5613 Highway 153.

At about 2:47 p.m., a black male entered the bank and gave a teller a note that read "give me your money... don't make a scene." The teller complied with the note, and the suspect left with the money.

The suspect is described as a dark skinned, unshaven black male with a medium build. He was wearing a baseball hat, a long sleeve white button down shirt, blue jeans and dark shoes.

Police ask that anyone with information on the suspect contact Crime Stoppers at 423-698-3333.
