Bank robber’s on the loose

Police and the FBI are looking for information about the man or men who robbed a pair of Mayfair banks early this week.

The first heist occurred Sunday at the Citizens Bank at 7327 Frankford Ave. A man entered the bank at 11:28 a.m., presented a demand note to a teller and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.

He was described as white, in his late 30s or early 40s, about 5 feet 7 inches tall and with a medium build. He had a goatee beard and has acne scarring on his face. He wore a white hooded sweatshirt with black lining on the hood, as well as a black baseball cap.

On Monday, a man fitting the same description entered the TD Bank at 6635 Frankford Ave. at 2:52 p.m., presented a demand note to a teller and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.

He was described as white, 40 to 45 years old, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 180 pounds. He was clean-shaven with a “reddish, ruddy complexion,” police said. He wore a black zip-up hooded sweatshirt, a white baseball cap and black-rim glasses.

Investigators believe that the same person may have committed both crimes.

The suspect is considered armed and dangerous. To report information about him, call the FBI at 215–418–4000. Tipsters may remain anonymous. ••
