PHOENIX (CBS5) -

The FBI and law enforcement agencies in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho and North Carolina are seeking a man involved in a series of bank robberies.

In all the robberies, the man handed the bank teller a demand note and sometimes carried a black zippered portfolio, according to the FBI.

The suspect is described as a white man, between 5'6" and 6'2" tall, 55 to 60 years old with a thin build. He has gray hair, a mustache and glasses, and was last seen in blue jeans and a blue shirt, the FBI said.

Witnesses in North Carolina saw the suspect driving a black compact SUV with a silver rack on top, according to the FBI.

The suspect has allegedly robbed five banks, including a Chase Bank in Flagstaff, the FBI said.

The FBI is asking anyone with information to call them at 623-466-1999 or report it online at http://bandittrackerarizona.com/.
