GBI Offering Reward in Rabun Co. Bank Robbery

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says a reward is now being offered for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible for robbing the Rabun County Bank in Dillard earlier this year.

Last week, the GBI announced a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the bank robbery.

On February 8 at about 12:50 p.m. a bank robber entered the Rabun County Bank on U.S. Highway 441 North in Dillard and demanded money.

An undisclosed amount of money was taken.

According to the GBI, the suspect left the scene in a late 1990s model black Ford Explorer.

The GBI described the suspect as a black male with a light complexion in his late 20s or early 30s with a heavy build and standing about 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 4 inches in height.

Also, the GBI said the suspect had at least one visible tattoo and a facial piercing.

The Dillard Police Department, Rabun County Sheriff’s Office, and GBI are all investigating the case.
