FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

FIRST CITIZENS BANK ROBBED 

 

Charlotte, NC –  The FBI Charlotte Safe Streets Task Force is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying and locating the individual responsible for the recent robbery of the First Citizens Bank located at 3130 Milton Road, Charlotte, North Carolina (NC).     

On September 25, 2007, at approximately 10:54 a.m., a lone male entered the bank and presented one of the bank tellers with a bank robbery demand note.  The suspect, who was given an undisclosed amount of money, including a dye pack, subsequently fled the bank, possibly on foot.  No weapon was observed or displayed during the robbery, and there were no injuries as a result of the robbery. 

The suspect was described as a black male, approximately 5’8” in height, weighing approximately 140 pounds, 33 to 35 years of age, and having a goatee.  At the time of the robbery, the suspect was wearing a white baseball cap with a dark visor, sunglasses, an oversized short-sleeved bright red tee shirt, and blue-jean pants.  The suspect was also described as having crooked front teeth that appeared “crowded” into his mouth.  Since the suspect was given a dye pack, the suspect, his clothing, and or the bank robbery loot may be covered in a red dye.

Investigators from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and the FBI Charlotte Safe Streets Task Force responded to the robbery and are still investigating. 

The FBI Charlotte Safe Streets Task Force is releasing the attached images from the bank’s surveillance system to help further identify the suspect.  Anyone with information regarding this case is requested to contact the FBI at (704) 377-9200.
