Ruston police probe Friday afternoon robbery

Ruston police today were continuing to investigate an armed robbery that occurred Friday afternoon at Sabine State Bank.

According to a prepared statement, witnesses said that a white male armed with a handgun held up the bank, located at 2600 North Trenton St., and fled on foot with an undetermined amount of cash.

Local law enforcement agencies circulated around the area but were unable to discover the suspect, described as about 5-foot-8 and 200 pounds wearing a red plaid long sleeve shirt or jacket and blue jeans.

Anyone who was in the area of Sabine State Bank between 2:10 p.m. and 2:25 p.m. Friday is encouraged to call the Ruston Police Department at 255-4141.

If anyone has specific information about the crime, call CrimeStoppers at 255-1111. CrimeStoppers will pay up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of this suspect or any other felony crime.
