Authorities are looking for an armed robber who has struck two Fairfax County banks this month.
At about 5 p.m. Wednesday, the masked man entered the BB&T Bank at 13360 Franklin Farm Road in the Herndon area, pulled out a handgun and vaulted over the counter, police said. He ordered the clerk to hand over some money, then fled.
The culprit was described as having light skin, possibly black or Hispanic. He was about 5 feet 7 inches tall, with a stocky build. He was wearing a blue, hooded sweatshirt, khaki pants, white shoes and a black mask.
Detectives have linked this man to a robbery that occurred at the BB&T Bank at 2513 Fox Mill Road in Reston on Dec. 1.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Solvers by phone at 866-411-TIPS/8477 or call Fairfax County police at 703-691-2131.
