(Rockingham County, N.C.) — A man wielding a large stick is in jail after police say he robbed a bank in Reidsville Tuesday afternoon.

The Reidsville Police Department answered a call for a bank robbery just before four p.m. at American Partners Federal Credit Union on North Scales Street. The tellers told officers that 29-year-old Kendrick Hart walked into the bank holding a large stick, yelled “this is a robbery,” then jumped over the counter and proceeded to steal an unknown amount of money.

Hart was seen running east on Madison Street. Five minutes after the robbery, a Rockingham County Sheriff’s deputy spotted Hart in the parking lot of Rob and Ray’s Convenience Store and arrested him.

Police said video from the credit union confirmed Hart’s identity. He will be charged with armed robbery.
