Robber knocks over Fenton Village bank

One Georgia Avenue bank was robbed Wednesday afternoon, and now detectives with the MoCo PD and FBI are searching for a suspect, a press release announced.

According to police, this guy walked into the Chevy Chase Bank at 8315 Georgia Ave just before 2:00 p.m., stepped up to a teller and said he was robbing the joint. He didn’t flash a gun, nor did he imply that he had one.

The teller handed over an undisclosed amount of cash, and the perp took off in a small burgundy ride parked on Bonifant Street. No one was injured.

Police described the suspect as a black dude in his late 20s to early 30s, somewhere between 5-feet 8-inches and 5-feet 10-inches tall, and weighing 150 to 170 pounds. He wore a black tee shirt, blue jeans and a black baseball hat.

    In the Gazette yesterday: On Sept. 1 at 4:38 p.m., at Chevy Chase Bank, 8676 Georgia Ave. in Silver Spring. A man entered the bank, passed the teller a note announcing the robbery and demanded cash. The teller complied and the robber fled after obtaining an undisclosed amount of cash. The robber is described as black, 23-30, 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, mustache, black wig, wearing a white hat and black T-shirt.

    Also last week I passed the Eagle Bank on Georgia Ave, which was closed for an “emergency” with 4 cops outside. Wonder if this was another robbery?
