RIVERVIEW, Fla. -The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a bank robbery that occurred earlier Wednesday afternoon in Riverview.
At approximately 1:42 p.m. on October 28, 2020, a suspect entered the Fifth Third Bank located at 13304 U.S. Highway 301 South in Riverview. The suspect, a male, approached the counter and handed the teller a note implying that he had a weapon and demanded cash. The teller provided an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect left the bank with the note in hand and fled on foot in an unknown direction. The teller told deputies a weapon was not seen or displayed.
