Escambia County deputies are still asking for your help in locating a bank robbery suspect after a Tuesday morning holdup in Pensacola.

Investigators have received several tips about the identity of the suspect after his image appeared on NorthEscambia.com and other media outlets, and they said they have narrowed their suspect list to about five people.

Ted Roy, spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department, said the white male, about 5-foot 10-inches tall, robbed the Regions Bank on North Davis Highway about 9:10 Tuesday morning. The suspect was wearing a gray sweatshirt and was armed with a black semi-automatic handgun.

There were no injuries in the robbery.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department at 436-9620 or Crime Stoppers at 433-STOP (7867).

    This guy looks alot like the guy that they say robbed the FNB in Atmore on Wednesday. Maybe just a coincidence, I don’t know.

    That comment in the PNJ is true……….It does look like Obama.

    But it looks like him with his face obliterated from the nose down…

    Too bad with all the technology now a days that the picture is still not very clear. Even though it was a good clear shot, this guy could really still get away with it!

    EXACTLY! Looks like he didn’t care if he was getting photographed.

    I realize this is not a funny situation, especially for the teller, but why didn’t the guy just go ahead and smile and wave for the camera or write “arrest me” on his forehead. You would think he had to know there are cameras everywhere in the bank and he has no disguise and the pictures are pretty clear. From the first picture, he appears to be an average person carrying on a normal bank transaction.
