A reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the man who held up the Rabun County Bank in Dillard earlier this year. Authorities hope the $5,000 reward will encourage public assistance in identifying the suspect.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says the man entered the bank located at 7408 Highway 441 North around 12:50 p.m. on February, 8, 2016 and demanded money. An undisclosed amount of cash was taken. He then left the scene in a late 1990s model black Ford Explorer.
The robbery suspect is described as a black male, with a light complexion, heavy build and approximately 6’2″ to 6’4″ tall. He’s believed to be in his late 20’s or early 30’s and had at least one visible tattoo and a facial piercing.
The Dillard Police Department and the Rabun County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and are investigating the robbery with the assistance of the GBI.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Rabun County Sheriff’s Office at 706-782-6226 or the GBI tip line, 800-597-8477.
