First Citizens Bank inside Ingles grocery store in Hull was robbed between 10:45 – 11 a.m. this morning (Wednesday).

The suspect is described as a clean shaven white male wearing eye glasses, in his late 40s, six feet tall and approximately 180 pounds.

He was wearing blue jeans, a dark blue or black hoodie and black tennis shoes.

According to Madison County sheriff Kip Thomas, the man presented a note to the teller, demanding money and stating that he had a gun in his pocket.

He left on foot with an undetermined amount of cash.

Nearby Hull – Sanford Elementary was placed on lockdown as a precaution, Thomas said.

He said the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is also working the case.

They are currently awaiting video from outside cameras to find out what type of vehicle he may have been in.

Thomas said the public should be cautious and that though no weapon was seen, the suspect did say in the note that he was armed.

Seems like there is getting to be a lot of crime in and around Ingles. I may not want to shop there any more. Maybe Ingles should hire security personnel or have local law enforcement patrol very frequently. Does anyone know why there is so much crime happening there?

This crappy photo and inept description is all they have? Is his hair cut really short, or is it just combed back? Can't tell from that blurry photo. Maybe the bank should invest in some security cameras that don't produce images that look like grainy images of people in the background of the Kennedy assassination.

You stand corrected. Claxton police and Evans County sheriff got the bad guy...not MC! In MC, this guy was able to just walk in to Ingles in broad daylight and rob the place, leave, AND get away. Only when he got to another county did they catch him. Glad we've got good police in some of the surrounding counties.

Thank you for this highly enlightening information about our law enforcement. Now we all know the secret to better law enforcement. Keep them away from "THE BREAD BASKET" and there will be no more crime in Madison County.

BTW, #3 anonymous, did you know that typing in all capital letters is the equivilant of shouting? Do you feel that your comment is so weak that the only way to be taken seriously is to yell at everyone?
