Deposit turns dangerous

Two Jersey Mike's employees recently learned how dangerous making after-hours bank deposits can be.

When the two pulled their vehicle up to the night-deposit drawer at the Village Bank branch in the Midlothian Station Shopping Center at about 10:20 p.m. on Dec. 7 to make a deposit for the sandwich shop, a man suddenly appeared beside the driver's window. The man pointed his gun at the head of the driver and motioned for him to hand over the bank bag. The suspect then fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of money.

The thief is described as a black male, 20- 30 years old and six feet tall.
