Toronto police say two men are facing numerous charges following five alleged bank robberies between December and January.

In each case, officers say, two men would drive to a bank branch, and one would exit the vehicle with a bandana covering his lower face and a hoodie pulled tightly around his head.

Police allege the man would demand cash while wielding a long-barreled revolver.

They say the man would leave the area in the getaway vehicle driven by the other man.

Officers say a 25-year-old is facing 20 charges that include five counts of robbery with a firearm and one count of possession of a weapon.
