PNC Bank Robbed

The FBI is requesting the assistance of the public to identify the individual alleged to be responsible for the robbery of the PNC Bank located at 1600 Market Street, on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 at approximately 2:04 p.m.

The subject is described as a black male, approximately 32-35 years old, 6' tall, with a dark complexion and a husky build.  He was wearing a white tee-shirt, a white fishing hat, blue jeans and dark sunglasses.

The robber entered the bank, approached the teller counter and presented a demand note.  After obtaining an undisclosed amount of cash, he fled the bank in an unknown direction.  There were no injuries.

Prior to robbing the PNC Bank, the subject is also believed to have entered the Wachovia Bank (1500 Market Street) twice, only to leave the branch without conducting any business.  Employees suspicious of his behavior notified security.

Two surveillance photos of the subject from the PNC robbery and from the Wachovia Bank are below.

Anyone with information regarding this robbery should contact the FBI at (215) 418-4000.
