Police seek ID of Wells Fargo bank robber

Investigators need the public’s help to identify the man accused of robbing an Atlanta Wells Fargo branch Friday morning.

Shortly before 11 a.m., a man dressed in all black, gave a note to a teller inside the bank, located in the 3300 block of Northside Parkway, according to Sgt. Greg Lyon with Atlanta police.

The suspect implied that he had a gun and would shoot the teller if she did not give him money, Lyon said. The teller obliged, and the suspect left the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

A surveillance camera captured images of the suspect, seen wearing a black winter hat with a white snowflake.

Anyone with information on the man's identity can submit the information anonymously to the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at 404-577-TIPS (8477), online at www.crimestoppersatlanta.org or by texting CSA and the tip to CRIMES (274637). Tipsters do not have to give their name or any identifying information to be eligible for the reward of up to $2,000 for the arrest and indictment of the suspect.
