Seeking Public’s Assistance in Locating Man Suspected in Attempted Robbery of Wachovia Bank Branch and Robbery of TD Bank Branch
The FBI and the Philadelphia Police Department are seeking the public's assistance to identify and locate the subject responsible for the attempted robbery of the Wachovia Bank branch located at 2 West Girard Avenue, and the robbery of the TD Bank branch located at 3930 Woodhaven Boulevard, earlier today.
At approximately 10:50 a.m., the subject entered the Wachovia Bank branch and made a threatening verbal demand to a teller. The subject fled the bank, however, without obtaining any cash. The subject was wearing red pull-over hooded sweatshirt, and was last seen on foot on Girard Avenue heading towards Frankford Avenue.
The same subject then entered the TD Bank branch at approximately noon, and made a threatening verbal to a teller there indicating that he was armed with a gun. The subject was wearing a white t-shirt. After obtaining an undisclosed amount of cash, the subject fled the bank and was last seen in a small white plain panel van with unknown Pennsylvania license plates on Woodhaven Boulevard heading towards Interstate 95.
The subject is described as a white male, 25 to 35 years old, 5’7” to 5’8” tall, medium build, with brown hair longer on the top then on the sides, a mustache and goatee and a “five-o’clock” shadow. The subject may have red dye stains on his clothing and/or skin.
Two photographs from the attempted robbery of the Wachovia and three pictures from the robbery of the TD Bank are below. This subject is considered armed and dangerous, and anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 215-418-4000 or the Philadelphia Police Department. There may be a reward for information leading to the identification and apprehension of this subject. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
