The FBI says the man robbed the Presidential Bank, on North Stuart Street, in Arlington, Nov. 10, and the Premier Bank, on 17th Street NW, in the District, Thursday. Both robberies happened at about 4 p.m., and in each case the man passed a note to a teller demanding money, fleeing as soon as he got it.
