Lollipop Bandit Robs Marietta Bank

A man sucking on a lollipop has robbed a Cobb County bank for the second time in a week.

Friday just before noon, a man walked into the at 2048 Macland Crossing Circle south of Marietta, showed a teller a note indicating that he had a gun, then demanded and received cash—all with the lollipop in his mouth.

He then fled and foot and is believed to have gotten into an older-model Toyota Corolla that was white or silver, spokesman Officer Michael Bowman said in a news release.

The robber is a 5-foot-9 black man who was wearing a black do-rag, khaki shorts, and large, black-brown-and-white sunglasses.

The robbery came exactly one week after a robbed the branch at 5010 Floyd Rd. in South Cobb.

The robber in that case struck about 10:30 a.m. and was dressed casually, wearing a black hoodie, dark shorts and an Atlanta Falcons hat.

Police ask anyone with information about the latest bank robbery to call 770-499-3945.
