A bank near the campus of North Carolina State University was robbed Monday morning, police said.
Posted — Updated
Investigators said the robber walked into the Wells Fargo branch at 601 Oberlin Road around 9 a.m. Thursday, passed a note to a teller and then fled on foot.
The case is similar to a Wells Fargo robbery on Dec. 8 in which a man passed a note to a teller demanding money and then fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. That robbery happened around 10:30 a.m. at 2600 Hillsborough St. – less than a mile from Thursday's robbery.
Surveillance images from both crimes show a black man with a light complexion who is between 40 and 50 years old.
In Thursday's robbery, the man is wearing a black leather ball cap, black jacket, a white dress shirt and a dark-colored tie. In the Dec. 8 robbery, he was wearing a New York Giants cap and a gray hooded sweatshirt.
Anyone with information about either robberies can call Raleigh Crime Stoppers at 919-834-4357.
