'Serial' Bank Robber Strikes in Roswell: FBI

ROSWELL, GA -- The man possibly behind the Oct. 19 robbery of a Roswell bank has been linked to at least four other similar incidents in Cobb County and Woodstock.

That's according to the FBI, who is offering assistance to the Roswell Police Department, Cherokee Sheriff's Office and Cobb County Police Department in their efforts to catch the "serial" bank robber.

The latest robbery was reported around 2:46 p.m. Wednesday when a lone male entered Regions Bank at 865 Woodstock Road in Roswell. The suspect approached the teller and presented a demand note announcing a robbery.

The suspect is described as a white male in his mid to late 40's and about 5'10'' to 6 feet in height. He also has a medium build, brown mustache and beard.

After obtaining an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect left the bank without incident. Wednesday's robbery comes eight days after the suspect held up First Citizens Bank at 3060 Eagle Drive in Woodstock.

In that instance, the suspect gave the teller a demand note announcing the robbery. The man did not display a weapon, and left the scene on a black mountain bike with red accents and wide tires.

In the Woodstock robbery, the suspect was reportedly wearing a black Adidas shirt and a black baseball-style hat that appears to read "Jackson Hole."

Earlier in the month on Oct. 4, the FBI notes a male suspect entered SunTrust Bank at 2880 Shallowford Road in Marietta and announced a robbery in a demand note. After obtaining an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect was also seen leaving the area on a bicycle.

The federal agency believes the same suspect is also behind two robberies reported in August. At around 3:38 p.m. Aug. 11, the suspect walked into SunTrust Bank at 2674 Sandy Plains Road in Marietta and once again turned over a demand note announcing the robbery.

In this instance, while a weapon was "threatened," the FBI states no weapon was observed on the suspect.

At around 5 p.m. Aug. 19, the suspect walked into Bank of America at 10750 Alpharetta Highway in Roswell and presented a demand note announcing the robbery. After he obtained the cash, the suspect left the bank on foot.

In one robbery, the suspect was wearing dark-framed sunglasses and in another incident, he appeared to have bandages on his hand.

Anyone with information regarding this individual or these robberies should contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta at (404) 577-8477. All callers can remain anonymous.
