Robbery of Wachovia Bank Branch in Norcross, Georgia

ATLANTA—Special Agent in Charge Gregory Jones, FBI Atlanta, along with the Gwinnett County Police Department, is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying and locating a serial bank robber who robbed the Wachovia Bank, Holcomb Corners, Norcross, Georgia, today.

On Friday, November 27, 2009, at approximately 12:42 p.m., a lone black male, wearing a black motorcycle helmet, leather jacket, and a police badge around his neck, entered the Wachovia Bank, Holcomb Corners, Norcross, Georgia, and verbally announced a bank robbery to a bank teller while threatening a weapon. The robber departed the bank without incident, having obtained an undisclosed amount of money.

The robber was described as being a light skinned black male, late 30s in age, 5’8”-5’10” in height, approximately 175 lbs., wearing a black motorcycle helmet, dark sunglasses, black leather jacket, a black shirt with white letters (possibly with “Police”) on front, and wearing a silver law enforcement badge around his neck. 

The above robber is possibly injured from an exploding dye pack.  He is also believed to be responsible for a similar bank robbery in Sandy Springs, Georgia last month and was observed departing in a black two-door Infiniti from that robbery.

Anyone with information regarding these robberies is asked to contact the Atlanta Division of the FBI at (404) 679-9000.
