The FBI has upped a reward offered in a Middle Georgia bank robbery in which a teller was shot and wounded in November.

The initial $10,000 reward was increased $5,000 to help catch the person who held up a branch of Robins Financial Credit Union on Nov. 22 in Warner Robins, The Telegraph of Macon reported.

The suspect is a slender Black man about 5 feet, 6 inches who wore a black mask, a white T-shirt, khaki pants and gray shoes, the FBI said in a news release.

The holdup happened soon after the suspect allegedly broke into a nearby home and stole a silver Nissan that was believed to have been used in the credit union heist, the FBI said.

The car eventually was found at Lake Vista Apartments.
