It may sound like a personal ad, but it’s actually the characteristics listed on wanted bulletins of a seemingly lone bank robber who has plagued branches near or north of the Perimeter in the last month. Seven banks from northwest Atlanta to Dunwoody describe this lunchtime bandit striking often just before noon, wearing a variety of baseball caps pulled low on his face, making off with untold amounts of cash, and eventually driving away in a burgundy or maroon Chevrolet Tahoe missing a rear hub cap. Or maybe seven different guys with uncanny resemblance have managed to pull separate bank heists -- twice at the same bank, and three out of the last four Fridays -- and escaped in eerily similar getaway SUVs. Federal and local authorities and area bank security officials are calling this mystery suspect a serial bank robber. “It’s very plausible that if he’s hitting one bank (in an area), he could be responsible for others nearby,” FBI spokesman Special Agent Stephen Emmett said. The Web site GeorgiaBankRobbery.com, maintained by the FBI, local police and the Georgia Association of Banks Security, shows surveillance photos from the bandit’s exploits under the title of "serial robbers." A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest of this robber. The man's M.O.
