A rash of O'ahu bank robberies continued as two holdups Friday increased the total for the year to 24, including eight since June 26.

The Friday robberies were 15 minutes apart.

A heavy-set man robbed Hawaii National Bank's airport branch at 540 Lagoon Drive at 3:30 p.m., while a man about 6 feet tall and weighing about 160 pounds held up Central Pacific Bank at 94-210 Pupukahi St. in Waipahu at 3:45 p.m. Demand notes were used in both robberies.
