Reward Offered in Bank Robberies

Wells Fargo offered a $5,000 reward Tuesday for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect or suspects who robbed a 66th Street bank branch twice since January.

The first armed robbery at 3131 66th St. North was on Jan. 26, 2013. The second robbery was on March 15, 2013.

If you have any information, call Det. Reginald Mitchell at 727-893-4204, or the police non-emergency line at 727-893-7780.

Surveillance video from the March 15 holdup shows a man pointing a handgun at clerks and demanding money. (St. Petersburg Police say the man in this video stole a car at gunpoint just minutes before robbing Wells Fargo around 1:45 p.m. Friday.)

He is in early 20s, tall, about 220 pound. He was last seen wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and carrying a backpack.
