Jennings police have reportedly received several tips from the public in reference to the recent armed robbery at the West Division Branch of Jeff Davis Bank. Jennings Police Department Deputy Chief Danny Semmes said those leads are being investigated at this time. Meanwhile, investigators are awaiting results from the crime lab and remain hopeful that forensic evidence was also left at the scene that will help police identity the bank robbers.

“We’re still following up on leads and processing evidence,” Semmes said, “but we’ve also received some tips from the public. We’re following up on those tips at this time.”
