Serial Bank Robber Strikes Three More Times, Changes Tactics

The FBI Violent Crimes Task Force has a warning for area banks about a serial robber who has changed tactics after a bank manager questioned him Friday after recognizing him from surveillance photos. The robber left that bank but then robbed another bank a few miles away a short time later. Investigators say a man who robbed the Wells Fargo in Randallstown, Maryland, on April 7 was wearing a mask, but he fit the description of the robber in seven other robberies.

• Wells Fargo—8522 Liberty Road, Randallstown, Maryland, on April 7
• Bay Bank—2637 Annapolis Road, Hanover, Maryland, on April 4
• Wells Fargo—8210 Gateway Overlook Drive, Elkridge, Maryland, on April 4
• Wells Fargo—582 Fredrick Road, Catonsville, Maryland, on April 3
• Wells Fargo—1726 East Northern Parkway, Baltimore, Maryland, on March 28
• Wells Fargo—860 North Rolling Road in Catonsville, Maryland, on March 24
• Wells Fargo—6309 York Road, in Baltimore, Maryland, on March 25

Witnesses have all described the robber as a black man, about 20 to 30-years-old, 5’6” to 5’7” tall, with a small build and medium complexion. He presents notes to the tellers and demands money, stating he has a weapon. Witnesses say the robber wore a mask in the most recent incident.

If you have any information about the robber or the robberies, you are asked to call the Baltimore FBI at 410-265-8080.

The Baltimore FBI Violent Crimes Task Force is made up of FBI agents, Baltimore City Police detectives, Baltimore County Police detectives, and Anne Arundel County Police detectives. They investigate significant violent crimes, including kidnappings, robberies of commercial institutions, armored car and bank robberies, extortions, and fugitive felons.
