Nassawadox Bank Robbery This Morning

NASSAWADOX — Police are tracking Tuesday afternoon a suspect in connection with a robbery at the Rogers Drive SunTrust Bank location.

A police dog from the Cape Charles Police Department tracked the dog north from the bank into an open area.

Units and personnel from a number of area police offices, including State Troopers and the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office, began the manhunt after the robbery of a bank here.

The SunTrust Bank at 10233 Rogers Drive, Nassawadox, was robbed at approximately 10:30 a.m. Tuesday.


Police have established a perimeter around the bank, which is next door to Little Italy Restaurant.


State Troopers were seen north of the bank on Route 13 on the lookout, according to a witness.

Reports are that Franco Nocera, who owns the restaurant, has video of the suspect, apparently wearing a hood and sagging pants.

Traffic is still flowing on Rogers Drive.

There will be more information as it becomes available.

It takes a real moron to rob a bank on the Eastern Shore, especially in Accomack or Northampton counties. How far can he run? He can't go east, west or south and it's damned hard to go north without getting caught.

Not a very bright idea unless he can either swim or tread water and even that would be a feat. I imagine he's cold, damp and tired by now.
