ALBANY, GA -- Albany police are looking for a brazen robber who struck outside of a bank early Thursday morning.

Detectives say an employee at Sonic Drive-Thru pulled up to the SB&T Bank on Old Dawson Road at about 1 a.m. to make a deposit for the business.

But as he was getting ready to get out of his car, the robber walked up and demanded the money. The victim said he wasn't sure if the masked thief had a gun and gave up the cash.

Officers canvassed the area in an attempt to locate the suspect but no arrests have been made.

If you have any information on the robbery, you're asked to call Crime Stoppers at 436-TIPS.
