The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information that leads to the arrest of the Brazen Bandit, who shot a customer on Wednesday, August 18, 2010, at the Amtrust Bank located at 3600 West Hillsboro Boulevard, Deerfield Beach, Florida. The Brazen Bandit walked into the bank at around 3:30 p.m. jumped the teller counter and took money from multiple teller drawers, putting it in a black backpack. As he was jumping back over the counter, with a small handgun in his hand, he shot a 67-year-old male customer. He then left the bank, where two more rounds were discharged, and was seen fleeing in a brown, possibly two-toned small pick-up truck with tinted windows. He was wearing a black baseball cap, sunglasses, and a bandana covering his mouth. The shooting victim was transported by Deerfield Beach Fire Rescue to North Broward Medical Center. He remains in critical but stable condition.
