LAWRENCEVILLE - Authorities are looking for two suspects involved in separate bank robberies in Gwinnett County. They are hoping the public can help.

At 12:50 p.m. Nov. 5, the SunTrust Bank at 6095 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Norcross was robbed, and Monday at 3:05 p.m. the Wachovia at 1625 Indian Trail-Lilburn Road in Norcross was robbed.

They said he is between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 6 inches tall, and between 175 and 200 pounds, with long dreadlocks.
