Prince George's County police are asking residents to help identify a man with tattoos on both arms after a bank robbery in Forestville that unfolded on Donnell Drive and ended without injuries. Investigators say the suspect walked into a bank in the 3400 block of Donnell Drive around 9:45 a.m. on May 18, passed a note demanding cash and fled with an undisclosed amount of money.

Police released new video on May 27 that they say shows the suspect entering the bank and speaking to someone behind the counter. The department says the man’s tattoos are distinctive and could help lead investigators to him. The robbery remains under active investigation by the Prince George's County Police Department’s Strategic Investigations Division Robbery Unit under case number 26-0026263.

Authorities have not said how much money was taken, only that the suspect got away with an undisclosed amount. No one was hurt during the robbery, which adds to the urgency of identifying the man before he can strike again in another commercial corridor.

A cash reward is available for information that leads to an arrest and indictment. Prince George's County Crime Solvers says rewards can be as much as $2,500 for tips that result in an arrest and indictment. Residents can submit information anonymously through the P3 Tips app, through the Crime Solvers website, or by calling 1-866-411-TIPS, which is 1-866-411-8477.

Anyone with information can also contact the Strategic Investigations Division Robbery Unit directly at 301-516-2830. Police are relying on the public to help identify the suspect from the newly released video and the tattoos visible on both arms, as detectives work to build the case and track where he went after leaving the Forestville bank.
