A dark-clad man walked into the Eastern Michigan University Credit Union at the corner of Jarvis and Jennes about 10:25 a.m. Thursday and made off with an undisclosed amount of money, according to a news release.

Investigators have determined it's the same man wanted in connection with a bank robbery Wednesday morning in Ypsilanti.

About 9:48 a.m., Ypsilanti police and the FBI responded to a robbery at the Bank of Ann Arbor in the 10 block of West Michigan, according to the release.

Ypsilanti detectives, investigators with other bureaus and prison officials were able to identify a suspect, but the person failed to arrive for an interview.

A silver 2006 Chevy Malibu with damage to its rear bumper is believed to be involved, according to police.

Officers are following up on leads and currently attempting to get an arrest warrant for the subject wanted for questioning.

In the robbery Wednesday, the suspect was dressed in a suit, a dark-colored fedora and sunglasses. The suspect wore a baseball hat and glasses in the second robbery, according to police.

If you have any additional information regarding this case please contact Lt. Deric Gress at 734-482-9847 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAKUP (773-2587).
