Slick Willie Sutton would have been green with envy.
The late Slick Willie was the guy who said he robbed banks because "that's where the money is."
The same notion apparently motivated the burly guy who held up the Nova Savings Bank at 15th and Locust streets Saturday and emerged with more than $200,000 - described by the FBI as the largest haul from a bank robbery in the Philadelphia area in recent history.
The brazen thief entered the bank shortly before 10 a.m. and marched to the office of the assistant manager. He threatened him with a silver-colored semi-automatic handgun and ordered him and two women tellers into the vault.
There, he instructed them to fill the backpack he was wearing with bills. When it was full, he threw a sweat shirt over it and walked out.
The man was described as African-American, about 6 feet tall and stockily built, wearing a black coat, a black knit cap with brim and gloves. His face was covered with a black scarf.
The FBI is also searching for the shotgun-toting robber who held up the Wachovia Bank branch at 6208 Germantown Ave. yesterday.
The man entered the bank shortly before 1 p.m. and presented a demand note to a teller. After receiving the cash, he stepped back and pulled the long-barreled weapon from under his jacket and left the bank.
He was described as a black man about 6-foot-1 with a medium build and light beard. He had a mark on the left side of his face and was wearing an earring in his left ear.
He had on a dark-colored parka with brown fur around the collar, a white camouflage shirt, black gloves, black pants and a black baseball cap with a yellow "P" on the front.
