The man was tied to bank robberies in Camden and Morris counties before the Pennsylvania hold-ups.
A man wanted in three armed bank robberies in Camden County and one in Morris County is now suspected of holding up banks in Pennsylvania, too.
The man robbed the First National Bank of Newtown Friday in Langhorne in Bucks County Friday, according to a release from the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the local police department.
Another robbery occurred Saturday at the First National Bank in Exeter Township. As before, the man brandished a gun, demanded money and eluded police despite their efforts to catch him.
Exeter Township Police Sgt. Ted Lis said the suspect in their surveillance images appears to be the same man in photographs released by the Camden County prosecutor's office. They show the man wearing the same hat and with the same sores, scrapes or dried blood on his face.

Lis said that police in Camden County have issued a warrant for the man's arrest, but he declined to name him since Exeter Township has not filed charges yet.
On Thursday, Camden County spokesman Bob English said that one man was wanted for three robberies in Camden County.
The suspect on Wednesday robbed at gunpoint the TD Bank on the Black Horse Pike in Bellmawr and then the BB&T Bank on the White Horse Pike in Lawnside, the prosecutor's office aid.
He is also the suspect in a Sept. 6 armed robbery at the TD Bank located at 601 College Drive in the Blackwood area of Gloucester Township, according to the release.
While Camden County officials said the robberies were all committed by the same man, the FBI release about the Langhorne robbery Friday mentions only one of the Camden County robberies, as well as an earlier one in Morris County.
The statement says the man wanted in the Langhorne incident is believed to have committed the robberies in Gloucester Township and at a TD Bank in Rockaway Township Aug. 31.
A spokeswoman for the FBI's Philadelphia office was not available Monday to comment on the discrepancy.

In all cases, the man got away with an undisclosed amount of cash and no one was injured.
The man has been described as white, weighing approximately 150 pounds and as standing between 5 feet 3 inches or 5 feet 8 inches tall. During the robberies in Camden County he wore sunglasses, a baseball cap and a white t-shirt.
Surveillance photos show he wore different shirts in the Pennsylvania robberies. The images also show him wearing black and red gloves.
LevittownNow.com reported that the man was wearing a black backpack in surveillance photos from the three robberies mentioned by the FBI.
The Camden County prosecutor's office said he was seen driving a black two-door Mitsubishi with a rear spoiler. A witness got a partial license plate number of XA 787 but did not see what state the plate was from, according to the statement.
The FBI said he is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached. Anyone who sees him is asked to call 911.
