One man is suspected of robbing two banks, and the FBI, along with local law enforcement are on the lookout for him before he strikes again.

On Friday, the U.S. Bank located at the 1000 block of 8th Ave N in Seattle was robbed around 3:30 p.m.

Police say the suspect was armed, and based on similarities to a previous bank robbery, they believe it wasn’t the man’s first time.

The man is also a suspect in the March 24 robbery of the Key Bank located at 405 NW Gilman Blvd in Issaquah.

The suspect is described as a white man in his 40’s or 50’s, about 6-feet tall and has an average build.

CrimeStoppers is offering a $1000 reward for a tip leading to a arrest.
