Gwinnett County police have released photos of a man suspected in two recent armed bank robberies and are requesting help from the public in locating him.

The first robbery took place Nov. 3 at a BB&T branch, according to Gwinnett police spokesman Cpl. Ryan Winderweedle. The man entered the bank, pointed a gun at the teller and handed them a note demanding money.

A week later, the man visited a different BB&T branch and handed the teller a similar note, Winderweedle said. This time, he did not brandish a gun.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Gwinnett detectives at 770-513-5300. To remain anonymous, tipsters may contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477 or visit www.stopcrimeATL.com.
