Arlington County Police have released a surveillance image of a man accused of robbing a bank in Rosslyn .
Police say the man walked into the Presidential Bank at 1700 N. Moore Street on Friday afternoon and demanded money from a teller. After receiving the cash, he fled on foot toward the Rosslyn Metro station. Officers arrived within a minute or two; they searched the station and the surrounding area but were unable to find the suspect.
The police department is now asking for the public’s help in identifying the man in the photo.
“The suspect is described as in his mid 20’s, White or Hispanic male, 5’5” to 5’6” with a thin build,” police said in a press release. “At the time of the robbery he wore a black hooded sweatshirt with red and white lettering, tan pants and light colored shoes.”
Anyone who has information about the suspect or the case is asked to call the police department at 703-558-2222 or Det. Gary Skeens at 703-228-4166.

The Occupy Wall Street crowd should add “use of poor-quality security video systems” to its list of grievances against banks…
Wow, at 5’5-5’6, He probably needs the money to pay women for sex.
No, he needs it to buy a standard-shift to get women to have sex with him, like you had to.
In this day and age, there is no excuse for crappy security cam video. Spend some of those ATM fees on something better.
How about some bulletproof glass?
Actually, it isn’t the quality of the video that is at issue here, it is the angle the video is shot from. The camera is placed too high. It should be set at face level behind the teller so that the suspect has to look directly, or nearly so, into the camera. Then you’d be able to see his face. Simple enough.
That’s because the guy is 5’5. If he weren’t so vertically challenged it would have came out fine.
right and the teller’s head would never get in the way.
I’ve seen him. His name might be John. I think he lives nearby. His phone number has a 3 in it I think.
If society didn’t discriminate against manlets so much, he probably wouldn’t need to rob banks! This guy has probably never even held hands with a woman before and surely can’t get a job other than as an elf at that height. Have some compassion folks!
Steve’s revised list: automatic trannies, smoking bans, and short people.
Banks need to install better video systems.
I don’t think it is as expensive as it used to be.
The quality of this video is very poor.
Want this guy off the street. Banks need to upgrade their video.
Think the public will help the banks when this happens. Just need a better video image.
Were you trying for a haiku here? Cuz you almost got it.
Want this guy off the street?
Get better cameras, now.
Blue moon bathes deep snow.
novasteve is really creeping me out.
That is all.
Shoe’s on the other foot now, huh?
I don’t know what that means.
For once you’re the one getting creeped out instead of doing the creeping out.
I’m not “creepy” though…
Oh, man. What to do with this one. Just two many possible responses to pick one.
It means you and novasteve, in general, sound an awful lot alike! That should not come as a surprise to you, I hope — ??
He has no idea.
Was he standing on a phonebook in that picture?

I think a short guy once stole Steve’s lunch money!
A non-smoking, automatic transmission driving short guy.
How about a short tranny that doesn’t smoke?
No, thanks, not my type, but have you met steve?
I wrote a song especially for this gentleman.
