Police search for bank deposit attacker

Police are looking for a man who they say attacked and robbed women depositing money at two south Charlotte banks Sunday.

In the first incident, a woman was depositing money from a Petro Express at the Wachovia branch drop box at 712 Tyvola Road at about 1 p.m. The suspect hit her in the back of the head, took the deposit bag and fled.

An hour and a half later, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say the same man attacked another woman depositing money from a Petro Express. The second attack happened about five miles from the first, at the Wachovia drop box at 1500 Westinghouse Boulevard.

Again, the man hit the woman in the back of the head, took the deposit bag and fled.

Police have released security camera photos of the suspect. Anyone with information is asked to call 704-432-TIPS and speak directly to a robbery detective or Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.
