Update 5:00 pm 10/18/09
Spartanburg Public Safety released surveillance photos of the bank robbery suspect.
Public safety says these pictures are from recent N.C. Bank Robberies. They are from Winston-Salem, High-Point and Greensboro.
They believe it is the same person that robbed the First Citizens in Spartanburg yesterday and left in a white van.
They think this is a different serial Bank Robber than the one that escapes in a white truck and uses the bag and note that has hit Spartanburg twice.
