Several law enforcement agencies are investigating four bank robberies in Virginia that appear to be similar. Winchester Police said a man robbed the Bank of Clarke County at 200 North Loudoun St. on Nov. 4. The suspect mentioned a weapon but did not show it to the bank tellers. The man fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of money.
Loudoun County Sheriff’s officials said a robbery occurred at the Bank of America at 45900 Regal Plaza in Sterling on Oct. 6. The man entered the bank and displayed a weapon. The bank teller surrendered an undisclosed amount of money.
On Oct. 21, a comparable incident occurred in Fairfax County at the Presidential Bank at 1600 Reston Parkway in Reston. The robber implied he had a weapon.
The next robbery also occurred in Fairfax, this time Oct. 26 at the Capital One Bank at 9800 Georgetown Pike in Great Falls. The man pointed a gun at the tellers and obtained an undisclosed amount of money.
No injuries have been reported in any of these incidents.
Witnesses in all incidents described the suspect as a white male who is 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs between 150 and 180 pounds. The suspect looked to be in his late 20s. Police said the video surveillance from these four incidents looks similar.
Anyone who has information about any of these robberies is asked to call Investigator J. Halley of the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division at 703-777-0475. Callers who wish to remain anonymous can contact Loudoun County Crime solvers at 703-777-1919. Crime Solvers will pay a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information provided to them that leads to an arrest and indictment.
The FBI also is working the cases.
