RALEIGH, N.C. — A suspect who robbed a Raleigh bank Wednesday morning is believed to be the same man wanted in a series of other bank robberies, police said.

The robbery happened shortly after 9:30 a.m. at the Wachovia Bank at 2600 Hillsborough St., police spokesman Jim Sughrue said.

Investigators believe the man also robbed the SunTrust Bank at 910 Kildaire Farm Road in Cary on Nov. 25; the Wachovia at 6623 Falls of Neuse Road in Raleigh on Dec. 29 and Jan. 21; and the SunTrust branch at 3620 Six Forks Road in Raleigh on Feb. 26.
