Bank Robber Dressed As A Construction Worker

NORCROSS, GA -- Maybe he's just a big fan of the Village People?

Regardless of his reasons, a man dressed up as a construction worker before robbing a bank in Norcross on Tuesday, police say.

Gwinnett County Police are asking for the public's help in identifying the man who walked into the Wells Fargo at 6155 Buford Hwy. at about 2 p.m., wearing a blue hard hat and yellow safety vest.

According to police, the man waited in line for several minutes. When it was his turn, they say, he approached the teller and passed a note saying he was committing a robbery.

He then placed his hand under his shirt, giving the impression he was armed, and told the teller, "Don't do anything stupid."

The man requested all $100 and $50 bills and ultimately left the bank with more than $2,500 in cash.

He is described as a black male, between 55-60 years old, standing about 5'10'' and weighing about 170 pounds.

Anyone with information about this bank robbery is encouraged to contact the Gwinnett County Police Department's robbery unit at (770) 513-5300.
