Bartholomew County Sheriff’s deputies, assisted by a number of area police departments, are searching for a suspect who robbed a Centra branch in Taylorsville.
Deputies were sent to the Centra building at 1170 N. U.S. 31 at 2:28 p.m. Monday where they were told an individual had robbed the bank and left with an undisclosed amount of money, leaving in a four-door gold Pontiac, said Sheriff Matt Myers. No weapon was displayed and no one was injured at Centra, he said.
The suspect is described as 5-foot-6, 180 pounds, wearing dark pants, a black jacket with a gray hooded sweatshirt underneath, gloves, wearing glasses and with his face covered with a bandana, Myers said. The suspect was also wearing a dark-colored baseball cap.
At 2:35 p.m., deputies and firefighters were notified of a car on fire on Tannehill Road near County Road 280W, a car believed to be the Pontiac used in the Centra robbery, Myers said. The car was on fire and abandoned when deputies arrived.
