The robbery occurred just before 1:30 on Monday (12/13/2021) afternoon at First Horizon Bank, formerly First Tennessee Bank, in front of the Cason Lane Kroger Store.

Evidently, the unknown man walked into the bank and handed the teller a note demanding money. The bank employee complied.

Cameras inside the bank showed the man was wearing a black t-shirt with a gray or dark green long sleeved shirt underneath his t-shirt. The subject was also wearing a black hat, black face mask and bluejeans (scroll down for crime scene photos).

Authorities say the First Horizon Bank robber parked his getaway car across the street, where he ran and then drove away. His car appeared to be a gray or silver 4-door sedan, possibly a newer model Honda Accord.

WGNS spoke to Murfreesboro Police Public Information Officer Larry Flowers on Wednesday (12/15/2021) afternoon and he confirmed no arrests have been made and the robber is still on the run.
