CORDOVA, TN (WMC-TV) - A suspect remains at large in the Tuesday morning robbery of the  Regions Bank at 1045 North Germantown Parkway.

According to authorities, a lone woman entered the bank just before 9:00 a.m. Tuesday.

"We had a lone female enter the bank, produced a weapon, and demanded money from the teller," said Lt. Preston Morton.

After receiving an undetermined amount of cash, the woman fled in what was described as a late model silver or blue Pontiac.

Witnesses said a dye pack exploded in the getaway car and red smoke was seen coming from the car.

The fifth annual Tennessee Sales Tax Holiday will begin Friday, Aug. 6 and will continue through Sunday, Aug. 8. During this weekend, consumers can save almost 10 percent on tax-free clothing, school and art supplies and computer purchases.

Gov. Phil Bredesen said the holiday is intended to help families across the state.

"The holiday provides much needed savings for all Tennessee shoppers and prepares children for success by making sure they start the first day of school properly equipped with items they need," Bredesen said.
