Friends and neighbors have reached out to the First National Bank & Trust following the Tuesday afternoon armed robbery of the Atmore bank.

Rene Godwin, FNB&T vice president, said that all day Wednesday, customers and friends took the time to offer words of encouragement following the frighting events of Tuesday afternoon when a man armed with a rifle robbed the bank.

United Bank, whose main office is located just across the street from the FNB&T, even sent a gift basket filled with “goodies” to the FNB&T.

“The FNB&Trust team would like to send a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to our customers and the citizens of the Atmore area for the concern shown us during the recent robbery,” Godwin said. “A special thank you to the United Bank employees for their generosity and well wishes.”

Shep Marsh, president of FNB&T, offered his praises to local law enforcement and his staff following the holdup.

“The quick and professional actions of our well trained staff, excellent security technology, and very competent local law enforcement officers resulted in an identification of the individual within two hours,” Marsh said.

    That is great and very well needed. but what about the other people connected with this, they have hearts and love for all concerned. Most parents now days can’t control what grown kids do. So all persons involved need support and love.
    My heart goes out to all involved and thank god it turned out like it did.
    Pray the person gets the help he needs.

    That is what I love about living up here. People still care about each other.
    pensacola had a bank robbed on the same day, but they didn’t get a show of love like this.

    What a great community to be living in. GOD bless all you kind souls out there.
