ATLANTA—Special Agent in Charge (SAC)
Brian D. Lamkin, along with Dekalb County Police Chief W. O’Brien, requests the
public’s assistance in identifying and locating the serial bank robber believed
to now be responsible for seven bank robberies occurring in Dekalb County,
Georgia between July 11, 2011 and May 7, 2012.
Beginning on July 11, 2011 at the Wells
Fargo Bank located at 1815 Rockbridge Road, Stone Mountain in Georgia, a serial
bank robber began targeting banks in Dekalb County. To date, this individual is
believed by law enforcement authorities to be responsible for seven bank
robberies within a very defined area of the county.
Each of these robberies occurred in a
similar fashion. Witnesses described a black male suspect wearing a baseball
cap entering these banks, waiting in the customer line, and then approaching an
open teller window, usually while talking on a cell phone. The robber then
presents the teller with a demand note that threatens a gun. No weapon has been
displayed to date, however, in any of the robberies. After receiving money from
the teller, the robber flees the bank.
The most recent robbery occurred on
Monday May 7, 2012 at approximately 4:07 p.m. A black male suspect wearing a
black ball cap approached the teller at the SunTrust Bank located inside the
Publix grocery store at 3870 North Druid Hills Road in Decatur, Georgia. The
robber presented a demand note to the teller, threatening he would shoot the
teller. No weapon was displayed during the robbery. However, the suspect fled
the bank without obtaining any money. The robber was observed getting into the
driver’s side of a red 1990s model Buick or Oldsmobile with an unknown Georgia
license plate number. The vehicle had been parked behind the grocery store and
was last seen exiting the parking lot onto Mistletoe Road.
The robber is described as a black male,
dark complexion, ranging in age from late 20s to early 40s, 6’00” to 6’02”
tall, medium build, short black hair, and having a noticeable gap in his front
teeth. During the May 7 robbery, he wore a plain black ball cap, white Sean
John T-shirt, and dark pants.

same suspect are as follows:
