He is wanted in at least three bank robberies.
Now, Suffolk County police are asking if you know the man — or, anything about those robberies — and are asking, if you do, that you call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
All calls will remain confidential and callers are eligible for a cash reward of up to $5,000 for any information leading to an arrest.
Police said the suspect, who was captured on surveillance video, robbed a Capital One bank branch in Brentwood on Dec. 24, then robbed a Roslyn Savings Bank branch in Brentwood on Jan. 2 and a TD Bank branch in North Babylon on Jan. 28.
During each robbery police said the suspect handed tellers a demand note. There were no injuries.
