Friendly robber knocks over Ironstone Bank in Alpharetta

The Ironstone Bank on Old Milton Parkway was robbed Dec. 5 by a man claiming to have explosives and an accomplice, said police.
Perhaps most intriguing, the suspect made a big show of opening a business account with the branch’s manager prior to the crime, and even stopped to shake a teller's hand and thank the manager after taking nearly $3,000.
According to the incident report, the suspect walked into the bank and asked about opening an account. He spoke with the branch manager about the affair, promising a $20,000 wire transfer in about 2-3 weeks. He even took one of the manager’s business cards.
After the meeting, the suspect walked up to a teller and handed him a note that said "give me your money" written on stationary from another bank. The teller said the man kept, “telling him he had explosives on him and an accomplice outside watching every move.”
The teller handed the man nearly $3,000 in $20 bills. The man left, shaking his hand and thanking the manager.
Investigators reported the bank’s security cameras were able to record good images of the suspect.
