Several law enforcement agencies, including the Linn County Sheriff’s Office and Federal Bureau of Investigation, are investigating an armed robbery of a Springville bank on Friday.
According to a media release from the Linn County Sheriff’s Office, at 11:41 a.m. Friday Linn County Communications Operators received a 9-1-1 call from a bank teller informing them of a robbery that had just happened at Security State Bank, 607 6th Street South in Springville.
As deputies arrived, they determined after investigation that a white male in his mid-thirties had entered into the main entrance of the bank, proceeded to a teller window, and displayed a handgun, according to the release.
