TAMPA - Sheriff's investigators are looking for a man who robbed the Sunshine State Bank at 7459 U.S. Highway 301 on Thursday while clad in an unusual getup: long green dress, black purse and a turban-like headpiece that covered most of his face.
According to the Sheriff's Office, the man walked into the bank about 11:45 a.m. Thursday and gave a note to the teller. He ran out of the bank with an undisclosed amount of money and left in a white pickup, which had side rails and aluminum debris in the bed. Anyone with information may call the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office at (813) 247-8000.
