Montgomery County Police suspect a man wearing a dreadlocks wig robbed the same bank in Olney twice -- this week and in early July.
In the latest heist, at 3:10 p.m. Wednesday, a man walked into the Sovereign Bank, 17920 Georgia Ave., displayed a handgun and demanded cash. He got money and fled on foot, police said. No one was injured.
Police described the suspect as a black man, between 20 and 30 years old. He is between 6-foot and 6-foot-2 and weighs 160 to 180 pounds. He was wearing a stripped polo shirt, jeans, and a multicolored hat over long dreadlocks. "It is possible that he was wearing a wig," police said.
On July 2, police said, the same bank was robbed by a similarly described man. After the robbery, a dreadlock wig and baseball cap were found nearby.
Police ask anyone with information to call 240-773-5100. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call 1-866-411-TIPS (8477) and be eligible for a possible reward.
