Fairfax County police hunt for bank robber

Fairfax County police believe one man could be responsible for four recent bank robberies.

The suspect, who may have first struck April 20 at a Cardinal Bank on Annandale Road, is described as a black man about 25 to 30 years old, between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall. Most recently, the suspect held up a Wachovia Bank on Old Keene Mill Road on June 19, brandishing a semi-automatic handgun. Police say the same man might also be responsible for robberies of the same bank on May 2 and May 6.

Lt. Richard Perez, a department spokesman, said Tuesday there are no other suspects, and would not speculate on whether the man was working alone.

“It is not uncommon to see a single individual responsible for multiple bank robberies,” Perez said.

Anyone with information on the robbery or the suspect is asked to call Crime Solvers at 1-866-TIPS or the Fairfax County Police Department at 703-691-2131.
