FBI agents, along with Tigard and Tualatin Police Officers, have charged Ryan M. Homsley, age 29, with one count of bank robbery for the robbery at Key Bank, 7152 SW Hazelfern Road, on Tuesday, September 21.

The Oregon Financial Institutions Security Task Force (FIST) is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case.

Investigators initially named the man responsible for the robbery the “Where’s Waldo” bandit based on his appearance as seen in surveillance photos. Investigation late Tuesday and into Wednesday morning provided investigators with the information needed to obtain the complaint and arrest warrant.
