""A man is believed to have robbed a third bank — two local and one in the Northeast — within the last two weeks. 

The man handed a threatening note to the teller at Conestoga Bank, 2444 S. Broad St., 12:57 p.m. Monday and received an undisclosed amount of money before fleeing the bank and heading west on Porter Street, J.J. Klaver, FBI spokesman, said.

He was described as white, age 20 to early 30s, 5-foot-5, thin to medium build, with a thin beard and a large tattoo on both forearms and wearing a Milwaukee Brewers baseball cap, sunglasses, a gray long-sleeve shirt and denim shorts.

The same man is believed to have robbed Wachovia Bank, 2221 S. Broad St., July 23 and a Northeast Citizens Bank July 26.
