LAGRANGE, Ga. — A man was arrested earlier this month after police said he robbed two separate Georgia banks while wearing a wig and sunglasses.

On Nov. 1, Newnan police responded to an Ameris Bank on Newnan Crossing Boulevard in reference to a robbery by a man in disguise. A short time later, officers put a BOLO on the suspect’s car and located it in Roanoke, Alabama.
