Houston police say ‘sharp dressed man’ in hat and dark suit wanted in 2 bank robberies

Houston police are looking for a “sharp dressed” man caught on camera in two bank robberies this month. 

The latest robbery occurred Tuesday afternoon, Houston police say. Around 2 p.m. a man entered a bank at the 1700 block of Fountain View. The man walked up to a bank employee, presented a “threatening note” demanding cash, gave the employee a bag to put the money in, and displayed a handgun. 

Police say the employee complied with the suspect’s request and fled in an unknown direction. 

The suspect is believed to be the same man responsible for another bank robbery on Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023 at the 5800 block of San Felipe, in Houston, Texas. Police say the suspect committed the robbery in a “similar manner.”
