The FBI and the Philadelphia Police Department are seeking the public's assistance to identify and locate the individual alleged to be responsible for the robbery of the Citizens Bank branch located at 2910 Cottman Avenue in Philadelphia today at approximately 2:35 p.m.

The subject, described as a white male in his mid 20's, 5'8" tall, medium build, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with the word "Gap" on the front, blue jeans and black gloves, entered the bank and presented a threatening demand note to a teller. The robber fled in an unknown direction after obtaining an undisclosed amount of cash. It is possible that the robber has red dye on his skin and/or clothing.

Two pictures from the bank's surveillance camera are below, along with pictures from previous robberies that may have been committed by the same individual.
