This individual has been dubbed The O2 Bandit by the RMSSTF. The bank robber typically wears a medical type mask and appears to have a mobile oxygen (O2) tank with him; it is unknown if the tank is real.
The suspect enters the banks, presents a demand note, and flees.
Bank robbery is punishable by a 20-year prison sentence for each offense and increases if a dangerous weapon is used in the commission of the crime.
The FBI continues to provide financial institutions with the best practices for security to make them less vulnerable to robberies.
