• Immediately approaches tellers, leaps over bank counter, and directs tellers to empty drawers of cash (sometimes aggressively grabs tellers);
• Leaves no notes;
• Disguises himself with a fake beard, baseball cap, and a piece of tape across his nose;
• Wears blue jeans, white tennis shoes, thick flannel shirt and gloves
• Seen fleeing in a 2000-2005 blue Chevy Impala, late 1980s gray Honda Civic and a mid 1990s silver/gray Buick or Nissan.

BANK OF McKENNEY, 4700 Jefferson Park Rd., Hopewell, VA
BB&T, 5100 Oaklawn Blvd., Hopewell, VA
