(WSB Radio) -- The search is on for a serial bank robber who has hit seven north-Metro banks in three weeks.

Dunwoody Police Sgt. Mike Carlson tells Channel 2 Action News the latest robbery happened Friday at a Wachovia on Riverwood Parkway in Cobb County.    He hit the Wachovia on Ashford-Dunwoody Road twice.

"He's very bold right now to hit seven banks in that amount of time," said Carlson.

The suspect, who usually wears a hat, polo, and khaki gloves, always uses a note.

 "We don't want this to escalate.  He has not been violent yet; however, he's very consistent .  He usually hits the banks toward the end of the week, the latter part of the week.  We want to catch this individual before he takes any extremely drastic measures," said Carlson.

The suspect, who has also hit banks in Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, and Roswell, drives a burgundy Tahoe.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Dunwoody Police.  Wachovia is offering up to a $5,000 reward.

What others are saying

  • the solution
    How about the Dunwoody police just stand around guarding the banks so that we can deter bank robbers from our streets and then the bank robbers will go to some other city that dosn't have police guard their banks. He wouldn't be so bold if you were already in the bank when he showed up. Plus since you know the type of vehicle he drives you could arrest him on the spot.
  • bank robbing...
    He dosn't even have a weapon... Its funny that he figured out that a note that says "We don't want this to escalate..." will actually make some bank teller give a stranger armed with only a piece of paper an undisclosed amount of money.

    Maybe he is robbing the banks to get his share of the bailouts.
