Public’s Help Needed Finding the “Sporty Spice” Bandit

The FBI, Tigard Police Department, and the Wilsonville Police Department are asking for the public's help to identify and locate a serial bank robber nicknamed the "Sporty Spice" bandit. The same man is believed to have robbed a Key Bank branch in Tigard on June 2, 2017, and a Key Bank branch in Wilsonville on June 7, 2017. Of note, the robber held a handgun in his left hand in the Tigard robbery. He racked the slide and pointed it at three different tellers as he demanded cash. In the Wilsonville robbery, there was no weapon seen or implied.

Investigators are nicknaming him the "Sporty Spice" bandit for his choice of sports-related apparel. In both robberies, he wore an Under Armor black jacket and what appears to be a khaki-colored Adidas cap.

In the Tigard robbery, no vehicle was seen. In the Wilsonville robbery, witnesses say the suspect drove away in a silver-colored vehicle. Investigators believe that vehicle may be a Dodge Journey.
