The FBI is the latest police agency to get involved in last week's burglary at the Farmers and Merchants Bank in Senoia.

Officials said the culprits struck late Dec. 22 or early on the morning of Dec. 23.

"The suspect tried to saw open one of the windows, but was unsuccesful. so they tried another window," said FBI spokesperson John Lazarus.

Residents driving by the bank last Thursday noticed a plethora of cop cars surrounding the office, and customers were notified the Senoia branch was closed. Customers were then routed to the bank's Sharpsburg office to conduct their banking business.

The Senoia Police Department was the first agency to respond to the crime scene, followed by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. A bank employee coming to work Thursday morning noticed that the bank's back door had been tampered with and saw other signs of entry, officials said.

Lazarus said the agency is asking for residents to contact their Atlanta office if they have any information on the crime.

Bank officials would not comment on the crime, nor would they say if any money had been taken from the office.
