FBI Offers Reward for Information on the ‘Route 91 Bandit’
The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the identification and arrest of a serial bank robber nicknamed the ‘Route 91 Bandit,’ who they say is responsible for at least 11 bank robberies in New England within the last five months.
As his nickname suggests, all robberies occurred at banks along US Route 91, an interstate highway that stretches from Connecticut to the US-Canada border.
The first robbery happened on September 9 and the most recent robbery occurred on January 27. The suspect has targeted banks in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Vermont. CNN reports that the robber allegedly threatened to use a gun in six of the robberies.
The suspect is described as a white man between 5’6” to 5’8” tall with blue eyes and light-colored hair. He typically wears a hat or a hoodie and white sneakers and may be driving a Nissan Sedan. He is considered armed and dangerous.
The FBI is asking for anyone with information to contact them through tips.fbi.gov and assures that all tipsters can remain anonymous.
