Oberlin Road bank robbery
RALEIGH, N.C. — Authorities are investigating a bank robbery that happened at a Wells Fargo branch late Monday morning and say the robber closely resembles a man wanted in connection with two other area robberies.

Monday's robbery happened shortly after 11 a.m. at 601 Oberlin Road – the same location of a Jan. 8 robbery and about a mile away from a Wells Fargo branch robbed Dec. 8.

Police described the man wanted in Monday's robbery as having salt-and-pepper-colored hair, a thin build and standing 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall. He was wearing a black jacket and dark pants.

Descriptions from the two other robberies involved a black man with a light complexion between 40 to 50 years old.

In the Jan. 8 crime, the man was wearing a black leather ball cap, black jacket, a white dress shirt and a dark tie. In the Dec. 8 robbery, he was wearing a New York Giants cap and a gray hooded sweatshirt.

Anyone with information that could help police is asked to contact Raleigh Crime Stoppers at 919-834-4357 or the FBI's confidential hotline at 1-800-209-2293.

Crime Stoppers pays cash rewards for tips that help solve cases. The North Carolina Bankers Association also offers rewards for information in bank robberies.
