FBI, DeKalb police look for bank robber

The FBI and DeKalb County police are looking for a man who calmly walked into a bank inside a Peaachtree Road Kroger and robbed it Friday.

The man, wearing bright yellow construction gloves and a bright yellow hard hat, waved a semi automatic handgun when he announced the robbery. Witnesses said he waited patiently, spending "an extended period of time" at the Ironstone Bank branch, while a teller retrieved cash from several drawers.

Then he left with an undisclosed amount of money.

He is described as 6 foot- to six-foot-2 and of medium build. He is believed to be in his 30s.

Anyone with information should call the Atlanta office FBI at telephone number: 404-679-9000.
