The Minneapolis FBI is looking for another bank robber after a man held up a TCF Bank in south Minneapolis just before noon Thursday.

According to Special Agent Paul McCabe, a man walked into the TCF Bank at 5937 Nicollet Av. S. and presented a teller with a note demanding money. He received an undisclosed amount of money and was last seen leaving the bank on foot.

Authorities describe the robber as a black man between 25 and 30 years old and approximately 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 11 inches and 160 to 170 pounds. He has a light complexion, a goatee and some facial hair. The thin-built robber was wearing a black baseball cap, black leather jacket, white striped shirt, blue jeans and dark shoes at the time of the heist.

The same suspect is believed to have held up the Bremer Bank at 80 S. 8th Street in downtown Minneapolis on March 21, McCabe said.

Anybody with information is asked to call the FBI at 612-376-3200.
