FBI Seeking Armed Bank Robber Who Robbed Two Banks in Four Days

The FBI Houston Bank Robbery Task Force is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a man believed responsible for robbing two area banks within four days.

The most recent robbery occurred on Saturday, at the Chase Bank located at 12214 Jones Road in Houston. At approximately noon, a lone black male entered the bank and approached the teller counter. He presented a note announcing that he was committing a robbery and then displayed a handgun to the teller. Once he obtained the cash, he fled the bank in an unknown direction.

Witnesses describe the robber as a black male, 25-30 years old, 5’05”-5’08” tall, 150-170 pounds, with a dark complexion. He was wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap, a gray sweatshirt with a hood, and a distinctive black tee shirt with writing on the front. 

The same man is believed responsible for the robbery of the Chase Bank at 1490 Eldridge Parkway on November 10. He also wore a very distinctive tee shirt during that robbery. Witnesses to the November 10 robbery saw the man fleeing the scene in an older model white Dodge Durango SUV.

Crime Stoppers is offering up to $5,000.00 for information leading to the charging and arrest of this suspect, or any felony suspect. If you have information about either of these two bank robberies, please call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 713-222-TIPS (8477).
