In similar fashion to those robberies, a man wearing a gray hoodie, possibly in his late 40s or 50s, entered the bank shortly before 2 p.m. and handed a teller a note demanding money. No weapon was seen.

The man fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Durham Police have not said whether they believe the same man is responsible for some or all of these robberies.

Last week, the BB&T on S. Miami Blvd. in Durham was robbed Monday and Thursday.
