The Newnan Police Department today shared the following press release:

November 1, 2024– Newnan, GA - On November 1, 2024 at approximately 10:34 a.m., the Newnan Police Department was dispatched for a reported Robbery at Ameris Bank located at 102 Newnan Crossing Bypass. Newnan Police Officers arrived at the scene within minutes and quickly secured the scene and began gathering information.

Newnan Police Detectives also arrived on the scene within minutes and began the investigation. It was learned that a male offender passed a note indicating he was robbing the bank and fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money. A suspect vehicle and description was quickly distributed to surrounding agencies. Approximately 1.5 hours later, the offender was located based off the Newnan Police lookout in Roanoke, AL by Roanoke Police Officers. Newnan Detectives responded to that location and were able to determine that Mack Carr (64) was the offender. He is currently in custody in the Randolph County, AL jail for Robbery where he will later be extradited back to Coweta County.

Thanks to exceptional teamwork within Newnan PD and assisting agencies (Lagrange PD, Coweta County Sheriff, Roanoke PD), we were able to quickly get this person off the streets. A thank you also goes out to surrounding businesses who allowed Detectives rapid access to surveillance footage, enabling them to give out an accurate lookout.

This case is still active and ongoing. We encourage anyone with knowledge related to this robbery to contact Sgt. Nathan McNamara at 770-254-2355 Ext. 128 or Lt. Chris Robinson. 770-254-2355 Ext. 155.
