Gun wielding, wig wearing bandits could be responsible for three bank robberies in Atlanta, Georgia.  Agents say since July 27, two black males wearing women’s wigs have hit Wachovia banks in close proximity.  The suspects order workers and bank patrons to the floor and have fled the locations with an undisclosed amount of cash in a silver Lexus.  Special Agent Stephen Emmett told me today that the vehicle was discovered last week at an undisclosed location in the Atlanta area and the car is being processed.  “It’s never as fast as you see on CSI,” said Emmett, but his team is working diligently to uncover information that could lead to the suspects’ arrests. 

Emmett also added that there are two other robberies in the area where the suspects were not wearing wigs, but the motive is the same.  “Thankfully we do not see a lot of take over style bank robberies when they are prompting  people to the floor and taking over customers.”

According to the FBI website, the robbers are described as follows:

Robber #1 is described as a black male, 20-30 years in age, wearing a short black wig, glasses, and t-shirt.
Robber #2 is described as a black male, 20-25 years in age, wearing a shoulder length wig, black in color, shorts, work style boots, stocky build.

Both robbers brandished handguns throughout the robbery and should be considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information regarding this matter should contact the Atlanta office FBI at tel. (404) 679-9000
