BURLINGTON – A bank robber matching the description of man who has robbed multiple banks in the Triad over the past month struck again Tuesday in Burlington.

Just before 1 p.m., Burlington police responded to Capital Bank at 503 Huffman Mill Road on the hold up.

Police said the man entered the bank and handed the teller a note demanding money. The man fled with an undisclosed amount. No injuries were reported.

The man was described as a white man in his 40s with a fair complexion, dark hair and a full beard with some gray.

He was around 5 feet 10 inches tall and wore dark sunglasses, a black and red jacket and a green baseball cap.

The man got into a white minivan and was last seen traveling south on Huffman Mill Road toward Interstate 40/85.

The man fits the same description of a the man in Oct. 21 robbery of the BB&T on Westchester Drive in High Point; the Oct. 23 robbery of the First Citizens Bank at 3200 Randleman Road in Greensboro and the Nov. 6 robbery of the Bank of America at 696 Hanes Mall Boulevard in Winston-Salem.

The description also matches that of a man who robbed a bank last week in Spartanburg, S.C.

In all of the robberies, the man wore similar clothing and robbed the bank the same way.

No weapons have been displayed and many of the notes referenced the man stating he had a bomb.

Up until Tuesday, the man wore a jacket with the University of Cincinnati Bearcats logo on the breast in the Triad robberies.

The logo couldn’t be seen on surveillance photos provided by Burlington police.

Police ask anyone with information about the man’s identity to call local police or Crime Stoppers at 373-1000 in Greensboro.
