Bank in Hollywood robbed
HOLLYWOOD - A man robbed the First Citizens bank, 6213 Highway 162, at 2:20 p.m.
The masked man jumped over the teller's counter and grabbed an unknown amount of money, stuffing it into a white trash bag, according to Charleston County Sheriff Al Cannon.
He was described as a black man 6 feet 2 inches tall and slender. He was wearing dark pants, a grey shirt, and had a nylon stocking over the bottom part of his face. There was no indication that he had a weapon.
The suspect was last seen running north on Highway 162 toward Savannah Highway.
No one was injured. There were no customers in the bank at the time.
Sheriff's deputies and the FBI are searching the area with tracking dogs and a helicopter.
Anyone who sees a man matching that description should call 911.

Lazy bums, get a job. Ten dollars says he hasn't worked in years (and I don't mean a recent economic layoff although he'll claim victim!) and has been collecting some kind of government cheese.

Finally the FBI gets involved, just like the old days. Hopefully they take the lead in this area and get something done. Someone has to stop this. It'll only get worse because our criminals are seeing that noone is getting caught.

canadians always pull these kinda things, don't they, and they all look the same, so you cant accuse one of them without accusing them all.
