An unidentified man who used threatening notes to rob two banks in Atlantic County for about $5,000 yesterday was shot and killed by police in Hamilton Township while fleeing from his second heist, authorities said.

The suspect, believed to be in his 20s, was seen driving an Acura sport vehicle minutes after the second holdup, which occurred at about 2:30 p.m., said Atlantic County Prosecutor Jeffrey Blitz. The suspect had walked out of a Bank of America in Mays Landing with less than $3,000 after handing a teller a note that read: "This a bank robbery. Don't do anything stupid." *
