Regular Joe Bandit Sought by FBI
May be Responsible for Five Metroplex Bank Robberies

The FBI and local law enforcement authorities are looking for a man who may be responsible for robbing five banks since February 12, 2013.

Each robbery has occurred at a bank branch located inside a large retail store. In each instance, the man approaches the teller counter, demands cash verbally, and also presents a note. He has also indicated that he may be armed with a weapon. After receiving an undisclosed amount of cash, he exits through the main doors of the anchor store. To date, no one has been physically harmed.

The most recent robbery occurred on Thursday, August 15, 2013, at Woodforest National Bank, 1035 Hickory Creek Drive, Hickory Creek, Texas. He was seen fleeing the parking lot in a medium-to-large size black SUV.

The robber is described as a white male, 40 to 50 years old, approximately 5’8” to 6’0” tall, approximately 160 to 185 pounds, with a medium build; he has facial hair (several-days’ growth) and a tanned complexion. The suspect has been dubbed the “Regular Joe Bandit” due to his casual appearance and composed demeanor. He wears glasses or sunglasses, long sleeves (hooded sweatshirt or casual button down), jeans, and tennis shoes. He also wears a baseball cap that appears solid in color or may have lettering or a logo that is the same color as the cap.
