Around 11:45 am, a call was put in about a robbery at Tri-County Bank and Trust in Bainbridge.

A suspect, described as a hooded, black male, entered the bank and handed a bank teller a note that requested money.  The teller handed over the undisclosed amount of money and the suspect fled. It has not yet been confirmed if he had a weapon.

While the schools in the area were on high alert, the children were not in danger. The schools went into lockdown immediately and the suspect was not seen on the properties.

We will have more information when it is available.

If you have any information about the incident or the suspect, please contact the Putnam County Sheriff department at 765-653-3211.
