Take a good look at the man on the right. He's wanted for robbing three banks, including two in Mobile.

Police say Griffin Thompson walked into the Mobile Educator’s Credit Union (3150 Airport Blvd) around 12 Noon, gave the teller a note demanding money. The note also indicated he was armed. The teller refused to give Thompson any money and he took off.

Forty-eight minutes later, police say Thompson robbed the Wachovia Bank at 2745 Government Blvd. He handed the teller a similar note. This time the teller gave him some cash.

Detectives believe Thompson is driving a 1998 Green Ford Ranger with Alabama tag 58982AY and VIN number 1FTYR14C3WPA15742.

Thompson is also wanted for robbing a bank February 26 in Sylacauga.
