Hit again by same robber?

Authorities were investigating whether the same man might have been responsible for the second robbery in a week at the same bank in southwest Albuquerque.

The FBI and Albuquerque police were looking into a bank robbery that happened Tuesday at Bank of the West in the 5000 block of Central Avenue SW.

The same bank was robbed on March 25 by a man wearing similar garb and having a similar physical description.

In the robbery on Tuesday, a man went into the bank at about 10:31 a.m., and handed a teller a note demanding money. The teller gave an undisclosed amount of cash to the man, who then got on a bicycle and headed east on Central, and then south on Cypress Drive SW.

The man is described as a Hispanic or black male with a medium to dark complexion, about 6 feet tall, with a slender build.

He wore sunglasses, a dark baseball cap with a white design on the front, a dark hooded sweatshirt with a white cross over the heart, and an image of what appears to be Jesus on the back of the shirt.

He also wore blue jeans, and black and white athletic shoes. Anyone with information on the bank robbery should call the Albuquerque FBI at 505-889-1300 or Albuquerque Metro Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 505-843-STOP. The FBI may pay a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the suspect’s arrest and conviction.
