Camden County authorities are seeking a man they say is responsible for the armed robberies of three banks in Bellmawr, Gloucester Township, and Lawnside in the past eight days.

Described as standing about five-feet-eight-inches tall and approximately 150 pounds, the suspect was last seen wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a white shirt.

In the photographs provided by law enforcement, he appears to have sustained cuts to his face.

Investigators also said the suspect was seen driving a two-door, black Mitsubishi, possibly a Lancer, with a rear spoiler; a witness reported the partial license plate number “XA 787,” state unknown.

The suspect allegedly first demanded money from a teller at the TD Bank at 601 College Drive in Blackwood around 10:30 a.m. September 6. Eight days later, the same man is believed to have robbed the TD Bank on the Black Horse Pike in Bellmawr and then the BB&T Bank on the White Horse Pike in Lawnside.
