On Sunday, April 5, 2009, the suspect entered Bel Air Market (located at 3250 Arena Boulevard) and proceeded to the Tri-Counties Bank (located inside the market).  The suspect approached the bank teller, displayed a note and demanded money.  The suspect handed the teller a brown paper bag in which cash was placed.  He then fled on foot. 

The suspect is described as a White man, 5'10" in height, and weighing approximately 160 pounds.  He had brown hair, a goatee, and was wearing a tan dress shirt, tie, dark pants, and dark gloves.  Below is a picture of the suspect. 

On Saturday, April 11, 2009, a man entered the Wells Fargo Bank located at 3220 Arena Boulevard and approached a bank teller.  The suspect handed the teller a note.  Before the teller handed over money, the suspect became startled and fled.  He was seen leaving the area in a 2003 or newer Jeep Wrangler.  The Jeep was white with a black hardtop.  It had oversized tires, chrome rims, and was lifted.

The suspect is described as a White man, 22-29 years-old, 6'00" in height and weighing approximately 300 pounds.  He had reddish hair and a goatee.  He was wearing a gray camouflaged baseball hat, black jeans and a t-shirt with "Saint Joseph Basketball" written on the front.  Below is a picture of the suspect and the vehicle.
