Investigators believe a man who robbed a bank last month struck again on Wednesday.

Metro Police said a man robbed a bank at 10:55 a.m. Wednesday in the area of Eastern and Tropicana avenues. Police say the man approached a teller and handed over a note demanding money. The teller complied and the man left the scene.

Police say the same man is suspected in a bank robbery that occurred April 6 in the area of Maryland Parkway and Flamingo Road. In that case, the man approached the teller and passed a note demanding money while simulating gun, police said.

The teller complied, then the man put the money in a duffel bag and left the bank.

Police weren't identifying either bank that was robbed.

The robber was described as white and in his 40s, 5-feet-10-inches tall and 200 pounds with a brown, hooded sweatshirt, gray pants and wire-rim tinted glasses.

Police are asking anyone with information about the robber to call the Metro Police Robbery Section at (702) 828-3591 or Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.
