Bank robber drops from ceiling

By OREN DORELL, STAFF WRITER

RALEIGH -- First Union Bank employees were surprised this morning when a 
robber dropped out of the ceiling on a rope, displayed a handgun and took 
cash, police said.

The robbery occurred at about 8:20 a.m., before the bank was open to the 
public, in the Mini City area on Capital Boulevard. The robber had cut a 
hole in the roof and hid in the ceiling until employees entered, said 
Raleigh police Capt. D.S. Overman.

The man wore a pillow case over his head with eye-holes cut out and a dark 
blue sweat suit. He fled in an 1990's Ford Escort.
