A cross-dressing crook who appeared to resemble pop diva Whitney Houston robbed a Wachovia Bank in Atlanta Friday. Surveillance cameras captured several images of the bandit, who wore a tan trench coat, black boots, and sunglasses.
The robber, who witnesses said was a man, entered the bank at 3019 Buford Highway about 11 a.m. through the lobby and approached the teller. He then produced a note that demanded money and specified that he had a weapon and would become violent if his demands were not met.
The teller gave the robber a bag of money and he immediately left the bank. The robber was described as a black male, 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 4 inches tall, weighing between 160 and 175 pounds, with a slender build. He wore black pants, black gloves, and a white scarf over a long black wig.
Anyone with information concerning the identity or whereabouts of the bank robber is asked to contact the FBI at 404-679-9000.
