East Texas Bank Robbed, Again

WASKOM � For the second time this month the Citizens National Bank in Waskom has been robbed. It was held up around 10:45 Monday morning. It was also robbed on May 6th.

Waskom ISD put all of their buildings on lock down for less than an hour yesterday when officials were dispatched to the bank in the 700 block of Texas Spur 156 in Waskom, according to Sandra Rodgers, the superintendent�s secretary.

FBI spokesman Mark White said Monday�s bank robber could be tied to several other robberies dating back to December. �The physical description and method the robber used was very similar to the person who robbed Citizens National Bank earlier this month, as well as seven or eight other robberies in Shreveport,� White said. �However, investigators are still looking to see if the robberies are connected or isolated.�
