Up to $5,000 Reward Offered for Information Leading to Identification & Arrest of Serial Bank Robber
The FBI Boston Division’s Violent Crimes Task Force, the Boston Police Department, the Cambridge Police Department, and the Somerville Police Department are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a serial bank robber allegedly responsible for robbing 10 banks in the Greater Boston area.
The white male suspect fled each scene on foot. He’s described to be in his 40s to early 50s, approximately 5’7”-5’8” in height, with a medium build. In each robbery, he was seen wearing a baseball hat covered by a hooded jacket.
During each of the robberies, the suspect passed notes to the tellers, threatened a weapon, and demanded cash. The “One Minute Bandit” told each teller that they had exactly one minute to empty their drawers and turn over whatever money they had.
The public is being asked to review photos of the suspect here.
