Charlotte, NC - The FBI Charlotte Safe Streets Task Force is seeking the public's assistance in identifying and locating the individual who robbed the Bank of America located at 3021 Prosperity Church Road, Charlotte, North Carolina (NC).

On November 9, 2007, at approximately 11:57 a.m., a lone male entered the bank and presented one of the bank tellers with a bank robbery demand note. Although the demand note indicated that the suspect was armed, no weapon was observed or displayed during the robbery. After obtaining an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect exited the bank and fled the area in a goldish-colored, 4-door Honda Accord, approximately mid-1990s model year. There were no injuries as a result of the robbery.

The suspect was described as a dark-skinned black male with a round face, approximately 5'5" - 7" in height, stocky build, weighing approximately 170-180 pounds, and late 20s in age. At the time of the robbery, the suspect was wearing a black toboggan and a black leather jacket.

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

The Safe Streets Task Force is releasing the attached images from the bank's surveillance system to assist in the identification of the suspect. Anyone with information regarding this case is requested to contact the FBI at (704) 377-9200.
