The Lakewood Police Department is actively conducting investigations into two bank robberies that took place on Friday. The initial incident occurred at approximately 3:01 pm when the marked male suspect entered the Wells Fargo Bank located at 425 W Kennedy Boulevard. Armed with a note demanding money, the suspect handed it to the bank teller. However, his attempt was ultimately unsuccessful, as he left the premises empty-handed on foot. 

Shortly after, at approximately 3:08 pm, the same male suspect entered the TD Bank located at 1601 Madison Avenue. Once again, he presented a note demanding money to the teller. This time, his efforts proved fruitful, as he managed to flee the scene with a sum of at least $1,000 in cash.
