The man entered the Citizens Bank branch at 7248 Rising Sun Ave. in Burholme around 9:47 a.m., the FBI said. He handed the teller a demand note and fled after receiving an undisclosed amount of cash.

The FBI said the man is also a suspect in an Aug. 10 robbery at the PNC Bank branch at 1316 Bethlehem Pike in Flourtown, Montgomery County. During that robbery, the suspect wore a white T-shirt and a black Chicago Bulls cap.

The FBI says the suspect is considered armed and dangerous.
