JOHNS CREEK - Johns Creek police said a bank robber sent a teller what appeared to be a pipe bomb Dec. 11 through the business’ drive through lane pneumatic tube system.
According to the incident report, the suspect pulled up to the drive through teller lane at the Wachovia at State Bridge and Medlock Bridge roads at about 3:30 p.m. in a gray BMW sports utility vehicle.
He sent the teller an apparent pipe bomb with a typed and hand-written note wrapped around it. The note read, “This is a pipe bomb, send me all your 100s and 20s.”
The teller said she stuffed the canister with around $3,000 in cash, then sent it back. The suspect left, and his tag was obscured by what looked like white tape, she said. He went north on Medlock Bridge Road, she added. Both FBI agents and Johns Creek detectives are investigating the case.
