FBI Releases Photos of Suspect in Monday Bank Robbery

The FBI has released photos of the suspect who robbed a bank in Reston on Monday.

The incident took place at approximately 4:45 p.m., when a black male subject robbed the PNC Bank located inside the Giant grocery store at 1450 North Point Village Center in Reston.

The subject demanded cash from a victim teller and fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of money. The subject was described as wearing a red Nike hooded sweatshirt with the hood covering his head. He is described as being about 170 pounds and about 5’7” tall. (A news release from FCPD noted his height as 5’11” tall.)

After Monday’s bank robbery there were two unsuccessful bank robbery attempts this week: one in Centreville Tuesday night and another today (Wednesday afternoon) in Washington, D.C.

The man who attempted to rob the Centreville bank Tuesday evening was wearing a Halloween mask and arrived after 6 p.m., when the bank was closed and he could not get into the bank, the FBI noted. He pointed a gun toward the lobby where employees were gathered, the FBI said. A suspect in a McLean bank robbery also wore a mask.

The man who attempted to rob the D.C. bank presented a demand note, but left the bank without receiving any money, the FBI said.

These two attempted robberies bring the total number of bank robberies (and attempts) committed in December 2014 to 16, one shy of December 2013’s stats (17).

Reston has seen four bank robberies since Nov. 26.
