Edmonton police again asked for the public's help Monday to identify a man suspected of robbing four banks in south Edmonton in a little more than two months.

In November, police first alerted the public about a robbery at the TD Bank on Ellerslie Road SW on Oct. 30.

"The suspect approached the bank teller and provided a series of written notes demanding money," spokesperson Scott Pattison wrote in a Nov. 22 news release.

"No weapon was produced, and no one was injured during the robbery."

Police believe the same man also robbed Edmonton banks on Dec. 22, Jan. 4 and Jan. 6.

"The suspect reportedly took the same steps in each robbery: Wearing a disguise, typically a blue medical facemask, the male approaches a teller and gives them a written note," spokesperson Craig Gilbert wrote in a Monday news release.

Police said the man has not produced a weapon. They believe he has fled in a vehicle but provided no description of one.

The robber is described as 20-35 years old, 170-175 centimetres (5’7-5’9) tall and roughly 68 kilograms (150 pounds).

He had black facial hair and was wearing light blue jeans, a grey-hooded sweatshirt, grey runners with white soles and black leather gloves.

Anyone who can identify the man is asked to call EPS at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
