The FBI has joined the search for the man who held up a Dale City bank Wednesday morning and was last seen heading towards Interstate 95 on foot.

The bureau announced Wednesday afternoon that it’s offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to the identification, arrest and conviction of the suspect.

At about 10:20 a.m. Wednesday, the suspect walked into the Wells Fargo bank at 2876 Dale Boulevard, approached the teller counter and passed a note to a teller demanding money, the FBI said.

Captured on a bank surveillance camera, the suspect wore a mask with a skull imprint and a wig with straight shoulder-length hair, the FBI said. He took an undisclosed amount of money before fleeing out the door towards I-95.

The bank is in Ashdale Plaza, just west of the interchange of I-95 and Dale Boulevard. No injuries were reported in the robbery, and no weapons were seen, according to the Prince William County police.

The police responded to the bank at 10:27 a.m. and searched the area with a helicopter and a K-9 unit (an officer with a police dog).

The suspect is described as a black male, of unknown age, around 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 130 pounds with a slender build. He was wearing the wig, the mask, a light blue T-shirt with white lettering, blue jeans, sneakers and sunglasses, the police said.

The FBI is investigating this robbery with the Prince William County Police Department and requests that anyone with information call the FBI at 202-278-2000 or Prince William County Crime Solvers at 866-411-TIPS (8477) or 703-670-3700. You can also submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.
