The individual, described as a male with a light to medium complexion, entered the bank while talking loudly on a mobile phone. He then presented a robbery demand note to the teller, obtaining an undisclosed amount of U.S. currency before fleeing in a dark SUV.

The suspect struck again on July 12 at around 1:45 p.m., this time at the Capital One Bank located at 2903 Forest Lane, Dallas. Using the same method, the suspect presented a demand note and escaped with cash in a dark SUV.

During the Garland robbery, he wore a dark-colored suit, white shirt, dark tie with light-colored stripes, brown shoes, and a light fedora-style hat with a dark band. He also donned a white KN95 or similar surgical mask and blue surgical gloves.
