According to police, the latest robbery occurred Monday at approximately 10:30 a.m., when two armed men entered a Wachovia branch in Norcross, Ga., north of Atlanta.

The first robbery suspect jumped over the teller counter while the second suspect stayed in the lobby area ordering other bank patrons to the floor at gunpoint, reported CBS affiliate WGCL.

The suspects then fled the scene in a silver Lexus with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The same pattern was displayed during a July 27 robbery that occurred at a Wachovia branch in Atlanta. One of the alleged robbers demanded a blue canvas bag, while the other remained in the lobby threatening frightened patrons. Both men got away with an undisclosed amount of money from the teller stations, according to WGCL.

Authorities have described the first suspect as being an African American male between 20 and 30 years old, wearing a short black wig, glasses and t-shirt. The second suspect is an African American male between 20 and 25 years old. He was wearing a shoulder-length wig, work boots and has a stocky build.
