There was an attempted robbery at Regions Bank in Bassfield Thursday afternoon. Officials say a black female with her face covered, wearing a black hoody and white gloves rushed into the bank at approximately 3 p.m.

She was seen walking down Hawkins Avenue before entering the bank.  She pulled a gun, pointed it toward a clerk, and said, “This is not a joke.”

After a customer entered the bank, the suspect fled empty handed on foot down General Robert E. Blount Drive. She was picked up near Bassfield City Hall in a gray Jeep Renegade.
