D.C. Police Seek Suspect in Series of Bank Robberies

The Metropolitan Police Department has released security camera images of a man wanted in a series of recent bank robberies. Police say the suspect in question may be responsible for the Nov. 21 attempted robbery of a Bank of America branch in the 3500 block of Georgia Avenue NW, and a Nov. 14 robbery of a PNC Bank branch in the 3300 block of 14th Street NW.

In both cases, the suspect produced a note demanding money, though in the Bank of America incident, he ultimately fled the scene without obtaining anything.

The suspect is described as an adult male, between 25 and 30 years-old, of an unknown race with a light complexion, between 5'11" and 6'1", and 180 to 200 pounds. In one of the cases, the suspect was reportedly wearing a red “running “ type jacket with black thin stripes along the front, a black skull cap and light colored jeans. In the other case, he wore a black jacket with a white, red and yellow abstract design on the front of it.
