The Murphy branch of BB&T bank was robbed by an armed man Monday morning and local authorities are still searching for the suspect.
Shortly after 9 a.m. Monday, Cherokee County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call that a man had jumped the counter and grabbed some money before running out with it.
The man was apparently loitering around the bank for a while, and employees thought he was waiting for the loan officer, Sheriff Derrick Palmer said.
