The suspect is described as a black male in his late 30s to early 40s who wearing a white button-down shirt and a dark blazer. He also had on a Kangol-style hat and eyeglasses.

Police released photos from bank surveillance cameras, and anyone with knowledge about the case is asked to call police at (770) 499-3945.

In June, a man in a Sponge Bob Squarepants hat robbed a Wells Fargo bank across the street from the Best Bank and Kroger on Floyd Road. That suspect handed the teller a demand note and indicated he had a gun, which was never shown, the authorities said.

The Wells Fargo robber got a way with an undetermined amount of money.
