Police Looking for Repeat Bank Robber

Police are looking for a man they believe is responsible for robbing two different banks in Charlotte this week. On Tuesday, the man robbed the RBC Centura Bank on Colony Rd. Police say the same man robbed a First Charter Bank branch this afternoon.

At approximately 4:30 pm, a white male entered the First Charter Bank, located at 6342 Carmel Road. The suspect waved a black semi-automatic pistol at the two tellers and demanded cash. The tellers gave the suspect cash and he fled out the back door, running towards Pineville-Matthews Road.

The suspect is described as a white male, age 20-25, 5'11"- 6'1" with a thin build. At the time of the robbery, the suspect was wearing a white mask, gray hooded sweatshirt, baggy pants, black gloves and tan work boots. If you have any information, please contact Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.
