For the second time in nearly a month a bank at Elkview has been robbed. Thursday afternoon a man brought a black pistol into the Chase Bank in Elkview and demanded money from the teller. The crook was able to get away with an undisclosed amount of money. No customers were in the bank at the time and no employees were harmed. Officers from the Kanawha Sheriff’s office searched the area, reviewed surveillance footage, spoke with witnesses and collected physical evidence. The culprit is described as a white man, between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet tall who left the scene in a silver Pontiac Minivan. Anyone with information should call the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office at 304-357-0169 or submit a tip online at www.kanawhasheriff.us.
