Spiderman-Masked Robber Hits Fidelity Bank

Gwinnett Police said a man wearing a Spiderman mask and acting like he had a bomb allegedly robbed an area bank earlier this week.

Police released surveillance camera images of the suspect, who is wanted for robbing the Fidelity Bank on 4591 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard around 1 p.m. on Nov. 16.

“The suspect entered the bank wearing a Spiderman mask and shouted, ’Everybody hands up!’” Gwinnett Police spokesman Cpl. Deon Washington said in a news release. “He was holding what appeared to be a detonator in his hand, and had something wrapped around his stomach. Some of the bank employees believed it was possibly a bomb.”

The suspect told one of the employees to lock the door to the bank, then demanded large bills from one of the employee’s drawers, and had them separate the money into bags he provided them.

After getting an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect led the employees to another area of the bank before he fled out of the back door.
