Philadelphia City Council sets agenda for fall, including bike safety, harm reduction services and electric vehicles

Philadelphia police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man accused of robbing three banks in the last week or more.

The latest incident took place yesterday at the TD Bank along Roosevelt Boulevard, near Levick Street, in Oxford Circle.

The other two robberies happened last week at two different Citizen Banks — one along Aramingo Avenue in Fishtown on August 26th, and the other along Cottman Avenue in Castor Gardens on August 29th.

Investigators say in each case the suspect used a demand note to get away with unspecified amount of cash.

He is considered armed and dangerous. You can see surveillance images of him on our website, KYW Newsradio-dot-com.

Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI Violent Task Force at 215-418-4000.
