The Nelson County Sheriff’s Department has released a surveillance image of the man they say held up the BB&T Bank in Afton Tuesday afternoon, around 12:21pm. The suspect is described as a male (race unknown), approximately 6 ft. tall, last seen wearing camouflage head to toe. The suspect fled on foot, hopping over a barbed wire fence behind the bank.
An aerial and land man hunt earlier in the day turned up no leads. Authorities say no one was injured or hurt in the robbery. Sheriff David Brooks is asking people with any information to call the department at 434-263-7050.
