$10,000 Reward

BOSTON—The FBI’s Boston Division and the Hooksett Police Department, Hooksett, New Hampshire, are seeking the public’s assistance to identify a bank robber who is alleged to have robbed a bank at gunpoint in Hooksett, New Hampshire. The robber is considered armed and dangerous.

On Thursday, October 6, 2011, at approximately 4:55 p.m., five minutes before closing time, the robber entered Bank of America located at 1090 Hooksett Road, Hooksett, New Hampshire. As he approached the tellers, he removed a silver-colored semi-automatic pistol from his backpack, pointed it at the tellers, and demanded money. He directed the tellers to fill his backpack with cash. After receiving money from the tellers, the robber exited the bank and ran north on Hooksett Road.

The alleged robber is a white male in his 20s, medium height and build, with brown hair. His hair was closely-cut and he was clean shaven. During the robbery, he wore white latex gloves, a blue Boston Red Sox baseball hat, sunglasses, a gray Adidas brand sweatshirt, blue sweatpants with white stripes down the sides, and sneakers. He placed the stolen money in a dark-colored back pack.

Given the proximity of the bank to an on-ramp to Interstate I-93, it is possible the alleged robber may not reside in New Hampshire.
