Man wearing Spiderman mask robs bank

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is asking for help in identifying a suspect who may be responsible for two bank robberies.
 
On Tuesday, a person wearing a Spiderman mask walked in to the Traditions Bank in Cornelia where he demanded money and threatened the teller with a bomb. The suspect took an undisclosed amount of money.
 
No one was injured during the robbery.
 
The robber was described as medium complexion, approximately 5’7 - 6’0”, slender build wearing dark pants, and a camouflage hoodie.  The suspect was driving a dark, four door, hatchback, subcompact car, similar to a Nissan Versa or Chevrolet Spark.
 
Agents and Investigators are working with Gwinnett County Police to compare the Cornelia robbery with a Gwinnett County robbery on Nov. 16.
