Help Identify Suspect in Back-to-Back Tuesday Morning Robberies

The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect linked to two consecutive bank robberies that took place within an hour Tuesday morning.

The first robbery took place around 9:11 Tuesday morning at the Wells Fargo Bank at 131 Garrisonville Road in north Stafford. The male suspect reportedly handed the teller a note demanding money in large denominations. When the teller told the man she did not have the requested denominations, the suspect walked out of the bank. No weapon was displayed.

The suspect is described as a black male with a beard, wearing jeans, a gray hoodie, a Clemson Tiger baseball cap and sunglasses and carrying a small zippered black bag.

The second robbery took place 30 minutes later at the BB&T at 760 Warrenton Road in south Stafford. In this incident, the subject reportedly stated that he had a weapon. The teller gave the suspect an undetermined amount of money.

The male suspect had changed his shirt, now described as a blue/gray white striped shirt and had changed his hat which was described as a black baseball cap. The suspect was last seen walking out of the bank.

Those with information regarding the identity of the suspect are asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at (540) 658-4400, call Crime Solvers at (540) 659-2020 (callers may remain anonymous) or text “STAFFORD” + your tip to CRIMES (274637).
