Have You Seen
this Man? He’s been nicknamed the SpongeBob Bandit. Cobb County
police are looking for a teenage bank robber who is apparently a fan of the
popular children’s cartoon and allegedly robbed a local bank while sporting his “SpongBob SquarePants” hat. If
you’ve seen him, please contact Cobb County police at 770-499-3900 or
call 911. For more information about the story, check out the ACJ article

Most of our
clients know FSI for our kit packing and Pick/Pack/Ship capabilities.
Many of our clients also make use of another strength of ours which is handling
sweepstakes promotions, rebate and redemption programs, check distribution,
etc. FSI can take in entries through mail-in (PO Box) and online.
We can validate entry requirements, perform data entry to build databases,
perform drawings, handle winners’ affidavits, distribute prizes and mail
checks, among other things. With this service comes periodic check
deposits to keep cash prize accounts stocked with money for the winners.
FSI’s Director of Administration, Carleen Blakes, found herself making a
deposit for such an occasion yesterday. The robbery occurred while
Carleen was in the branch and before she could make her deposit. No one
was hurt in the incident. The robber passed a note to the teller with
instructions claiming to have a weapon, but never produced one. He simply
took the money he was given and walked out. Of course, everyone freaked
out immediately and the police showed up soon thereafter. No one could
leave while they were all being questioned by police about what they saw.
It all happened so quietly, and Carleen was so focused on the task at hand that
she didn’t even notice the event happen.
Most people might
have gone home or left as soon as they could. But Carleen’s dedication to
the client came through and she still got the deposit made after the dust
settled. We jump through fires for our clients, and now we can say crime
can’t even hold us up. At FSI, we are dedicated to making sure your jobs
are taken care of!
