Second Akron bank robbed by man talking on phone

By Beacon Journal staff report

A man wearing a black stocking hat, a black heavy coat, blue jeans and tan boots robbed the FirstMerit Bank on North Main Street this morning, Akron police said.

The suspect entered the bank talking on a cell phone shortly after 10 a.m. He walked up to the counter and handed a teller a bag and demanded money. No weapon was displayed.

The suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The suspect was described as a black man 30 to 35 years old, 6-foot to 6-foot-3 and weighing between 190 and 220 pounds. He had a dark complexion.

Police said that man's face was partially obscured because he was talking on the phone.

His description is similar to the suspect involved in a a robbery of the FirstMerit Bank at 840 Brittain Road last Wednesday.

That suspect also talked on the phone during the robbery and handed the teller a bag, police said.
