TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Tucson police need help locating a man wanted in connection with multiple bank robberies.
Sgt. Chris Widmer with the Tucson Police Department tells 9OYS that a man wearing an AC/DC shirt, black pants, makeup and a wig walked into a Bank of America in the 2800 block of north Campbell Avenue just before noon Monday and ordered a bank teller to fill a bag with money.
The teller was protected by bullet proof glass and refused to give the man any money, according to Widmer.
No one was injured during the incident and the man left the bank headed westbound.
A short time later, at around 1:30 p.m., a man entered a different Bank of America in the 6500 block of east Broadway Blvd, Widmer said.
This time the man was wearing a purple shirt, black dress pants and dress shoes, makeup or a mask and a golfers cap. He was also carrying a black suitcase and a cane while walking with a limp, according to Widmer.
The man handed a bag to a bank teller and ordered the teller to fill the bag with money.
The teller put some money into the bag before the man left the bank. Police believe the same man was involved in both bank robberies, Widmer said.
Witnesses say the man was either Caucasian, Hispanic or African American, around 6-foot-tall with a medium build and a facial disfigurement resembling burn scars on his cheeks. Witnesses also say the man was bald.
If you have any information about the man's identity or his whereabouts, police ask that you call 9-1-1 or 88-CRIME.
