The FBI are calling on the public for any assistance in solving a series of two bank robberies that took place on Thursday.

According to the FBI, the SunTrust Bank branch at 601 W. Broward Blvd. was robbed shortly after 2 p.m. by a man who went into the bank and demanded money. Money was taken but the amount was not released. There were no injuries.

Surveillance photos show a person in a green ball cap, long-sleeved shirt and pants with a blue pattern.


About two hours earlier, the TD Bank branch at 4101 W. Commercial Blvd. in Tamarac was robbed in a similar manner.

In that case, surveillance photos show a person wearing a blue ball cap with a red bill and a dark-colored shirt.

Though authorities did not confirm whether the two crimes were linked, both were done in a similar manner, with one lone assailant.
