Surveillance photos of a bank robbery in Southeast have been released and the FBI and District police hope someone can identify the suspect.
The robber entered the Chevy Chase Bank at 336 Pennsylvania Ave. a little before noon on Nov. 21, police said, and passed a teller a note demanding cash. The teller complied, stuffing the cash in a black bag the suspect brought with him.

Police described the bank robber as a black man between 50 and 60 years old. He had a dark complexion and was about 5 feet 8 inches tall with a thin build. He was wearing a white shirt and tie, wire-framed glasses and a black skull cap at the time of the robbery. He also had on black leather coat and black gloves.
The suspect in the Chevy Chase robbery does not appear to be the same man who robbed two D.C. banks last month, authorities said. That man robbed a Bank of America on Georgia Avenue in Northwest on Nov. 21 and a PNC Bank on 14th Street, also in Northwest. He’s younger than the man who robbed the Chevy Chase Bank — about 25 to 30 years old — and is of an unknown race.
Anyone with information about any of the bank robberies is asked to contact D.C. police at 202-727-6204 or Crime Solvers at 888-411-TIPS (8477).
District police offer $5,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to an arrest and conviction of the suspect.
