Detectives believe the male in the attached photos – and the subject of today’s earlier advisory – attempted three separate bank robberies (one successfully) in Richmond today. Detectives are asking the public for information about his identity and whereabouts.
At
approximately 12:03 p.m., officers were called to the SunTrust bank, located in
the 400 block of East Grace Street, for the report of an attempted robbery. The
suspect passed a note to a teller demanding cash. No weapon was displayed. He
left the bank without receiving any cash and fled the area on foot.
At
approximately 2:10 p.m., officers were called to the SunTrust bank, located in
the 1800 block of West Broad Street, for the report of an attempted robbery.
The same individual, this time wearing a lemon-lime-colored shirt, passed a
note to a teller demanding cash. No weapon was displayed, no cash was received
and the suspect left the area on foot.
Approximately
12 minutes later, the suspect handed a note to a teller demanding cash in the
Wells Fargo bank, located in the 3500 block of West Broad Street. No weapon was
displayed. During this attempt the suspect received cash from the teller and
left the bank on foot.
The
suspect was described in the first incident as a black male with a goatee who
wore a plaid shirt, black trousers, white cotton gloves and a stocking cap
under a khaki cap. He wore sunglasses and carried a green construction-type
helmet. The photos below show the suspect in the plaid shirt from the earlier
bank robbery attempt and the lemon-lime-colored shirt from the two later
incidents.
