MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Three men robbed the Independent Bank in Midtown on Thursday, according to the Memphis Police Department (MPD).
Around 9:30 a.m., three men with handguns tried to rob the Renasant Bank at 2046 Union, but could not get past the magnetic door lock.
Thirteen minutes later, around 9:45 a.m., they attempted to rob the ATM at 1711 Union (Independent Bank), where two employees were placing cash into the ATM machine, MPD said.
The men ordered the employees to open the ATM, then pistol-whipped one of them. The man who was hit suffered a large laceration to his head and was taken to the hospital, according to MPD.
The suspects were last seen driving a black Infiniti Q50 with damage to the passenger side fender, heading westbound from the scene.
