Milwaukee police were searching Sunday for a man who they say is responsible for five robberies over the weekend, including three at Milwaukee banks.

The first robbery occurred at 9:10 a.m. Saturday at the U.S. Bank inside 4015 S. Howell Ave. The man entered the bank, approached a teller and presented a note demanding money, police said. He fled with cash from the bank.

Police think he also robbed two George Webb restaurants, including one at 2012 W. Layton Ave., on Saturday. The man implied that he had a gun.

He apparently struck again Sunday afternoon, first at the TCF Bank, 123 W. Oklahoma Ave., at 2:44 p.m., police said. The next happened at 2:55 p.m. at Tri City National Bank, 250 W. Holt Ave.

The robber is described as a white man in his late 20s or early 30s, about 5 feet, 10 inches to 6 feet tall and weighing 160 to 180 pounds. He had a slight mustache and was wearing prescription glasses. Descriptions of the his clothing included a baseball cap with the number "88" on the front and a gray Harley-Davidson pullover hooded sweat shirt with a hand pouch.

He is believed to have fled in a light-colored car.
