Authorities are looking for the man who was wearing a Spider-Man mask but acting like a villain during a bank robbery in north Georgia on Tuesday.

Around 12:30 p.m., the masked robber entered the Traditions Bank in Cornelia while holding a device and claiming to have a bomb, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a news release. He left with an undisclosed amount of money.

No injuries were reported.

The suspect is described as 5-foot-7 to 6 feet tall with a slender build. He was wearing dark pants and a camouflage hoodie. He was driving a dark, four-door hatchback similar to a Nissan Versa or Chevrolet Spark, the GBI said.

Cornelia police and the GBI are investigating, and authorities are working with Gwinnett police to compare the Cornelia robbery with a Gwinnett heist on Nov. 16.

Anyone with information can call the Cornelia Police Department at 706-778-4314 or 706-778-3911. Tips can be reported to the GBI at 1-800-597-8477.
