The Farmers & Merchants Bank branch on North Main Street was broken into, and an undisclosed amount of cash was taken, Statesboro police said Tuesday. Police responded at 7:15 a.m. Tuesday to the bank after an employee opened up and saw that someone had broken in. "The incident appears to have occurred while Farmers and Merchants was closed and was initially reported by a bank employee that had arrived to open the bank for business that morning," Statesboro Public Safety Director Wendell Turner said in a news release.
