Seeking the Public’s Assistance in Locating Serial Bank Robber

FBI Philadelphia November 10, 2009

The FBI and the Philadelphia Police Department are seeking the public’s assistance to identify and locate the subject responsible for the robbery of the Citizens Bank branch located at 7248 Rising Sun Avenue yesterday afternoon.

At approximately 2:50 p.m. yesterday, an unidentified male entered the branch and presented threatening demand note to a teller. After receiving an undisclosed amount of cash, the subject fled on foot and was last seen headed southbound on Rising Sun Avenue. The subject is described as a black male in his late 30’s, 6’1” to 6’2” tall, medium build, with a closely cropped salt-and-pepper mustache and beard, wearing a black or dark baseball cap with the New York Yankees “NY” logo on the front, a light-colored button-down shirt with vertical stripes, and a tan jacket with a darker collar and lining. There were no injuries as a result of the robbery.

This is the same subject who is believed to be responsible for the robbery of the PNC Bank branch located at 6705 Rising Sun Avenue on October 27, 2009, and the robbery of the Bank of America Branch located at 6425 Rising Sun Avenue on October 27, 2009.

Two photographs from the bank’s security cameras are below. This subject is considered armed and dangerous, and anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 215-418-4000 or the Philadelphia Police Department. There may be a reward for information leading to the identification and apprehension of this subject. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
