William Clinard Shore, 29, of Clayton, was arrested Thursday afternoon at a motel on New Bern Avenue following a robbery at a Bank of America Branch at 321 Oberlin Road in Cameron Village.
Police later arrested Bobby Edward Shaw, 33, of Raleigh, at a home in Wendell.
Investigators say Shores robbed the Bank of America, as well as a Capital Boulevard PNC Bank on Wednesday and that Shaw drove the getaway car.
The robber in both cases was described as being a white man wearing a hat, sunglasses and dark clothing and having a scruffy beard.
Police said a Crime Stoppers tip resulting from media coverage was instrumental in identifying Shore as a suspect.
Further details weren't immediately available Thursday evening.
