ONANCOCK — A bank in downtown Onancock was robbed by a lone suspect early Thursday afternoon.

Officers were dispatched to SunTrust bank at 62 Market St. about 12:30 p.m. and fanned out between the bank and the Onancock School looking for the suspect, who was described as a light-skinned black male wearing a tan top and tan boots.

An officer shortly before 1 p.m. reported finding an article of clothing that appeared to be the suspect’s shirt on the road near a cemetery in town.


Officers from Virginia State Police, the Accomack County Sheriff’s Office and the town of Onancock are continuing the search for the robber.


Yellow crime scene tape marked the scene, where a sign on the bank’s front door alerted customers reading, “Sorry, we are closed due to robbery. This branch will open as soon as possible.”
