Davenport Bank Robber May Have Tried Robbery Earlier in the Day

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a man who robbed a Davenport bank Saturday afternoon might have tried to rob a different bank earlier in the day.

The Quad-City Times reports a man successfully robbed a Wells Fargo branch downtown shortly before 1 p.m. Saturday. A man matching the same description tried to rob Northwest Bank at 1454 W. Locust Street about three hours earlier.

In both cases, the suspect handed a teller a note demanding money. At Wells Fargo, the man received an undisclosed amount of cash.

Davenport Police said the suspect in both cases was a black man in his 30s who wore a baseball cap, black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans. He didn’t display a weapon at either bank.
