Huntsville is buzzing with news after a daring bank robbery took place last Thursday, February 6, 2025, at the Regions Bank located on Madison Street. The crime unfolded in broad daylight shortly after 2 p.m., leaving locals both shocked and on edge.
The Scene of the Crime
The robber entered the bank with a bold move—handing a note to a teller that demanded money.

Fortunately, no weapon was evident during the heist, which was confirmed through security footage from inside the bank.
