The robber described in an FBI wanted poster about two bank robberies committed on the same day earlier this month may have also struck two more times this week in central New Jersey, including Wednesday morning.A man robbed a Northfield Bank branch on Main Street in Flemington Wednesday morning at about 9 a.m., police and the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office said. The man wore a long-sleeve blue hooded sweatshirt, knict cap and dark sunglasses.That man looks very similar to the man who authorities say robbed the Peapack-Gladstone Bank in Bridgewater in neighboring Somerset County on Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 23. That man is clad in a hoodie and knit cap and also wearing sunglasses.Furthermore, the man in the Bridgewater and Flemington robberies each appears to hid his hands inside his sweatshirt sleeves while at the teller counter.A spokesman for the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday evening about the Flemington robbery having any connections.In Somerset County, though, detectives are aware the Bridgewater bandit bears a resemblance to the man who robbed a Financial Resources Federal Credit Union branch in Franklin Township in their county on Oct. 1, prosecutor's spokeswoman Detective Jeanne Trillhaase said.
