Batesville Police Chief Alan Cockrill reports authorities are on the lookout for two men involved in a robbery at a Batesville bank Friday afternoon.
At approximately 1:15 p.m., employees at the St. Louis Street location of Citizens Bank were filling the ATM when they were approached by two males who grabbed the three boxes of cash and fled in a black or dark grey Chevrolet car (pictured), according to Cockrill. The vehicle might have Texas plates, said Cockrill.
A short time later, a vehicle matching that description was pursued by officers of the Independence County Sheriff’s Department. During the pursuit, the suspects hit county roads and evaded officers, the chief reported.
Physical evidence was located in the area and is being processed.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of this vehicle, please contact the dispatcher’s office at (870) 698-2436.
