The FBI's Violent Crimes Task Force and the Philadelphia Police Department are seeking information leading to the identification of a serial bank robber, suspected of hitting the same location three times in a four-month span in 2013.
Each time, the male suspect has targeted the Police and Fire Federal Credit Union branch at 7604 City Ave. in the Overbrook Park section of the city, the FBI said Tuesday. He has presented threatening demand notes to tellers and gestured that he has a gun, though no weapon has been physically displayed.
The last known robbery by the suspect occurred Oct. 31, 2013, and he is believed to be responsible for the robberies at the same PFFCU branch on July 1, 2013, and July 29, 2013. In all three robberies the suspect was seen fleeing the area on foot.
The subject is described by the FBI as a black male in his mid-30s, between 6-foot and 6-foot-2, medium build, medium to dark complexion. He sometimes has a scraggly goatee, and he may also have acne or similar bumps on his face. In each robbery, he’s worn a hat, including: a black baseball cap with unknown white writing; a dark-colored flat cap; and a black Chicago White Sox baseball cap with white “Sox” lettering.
The suspected is considered armed and dangerous.
There is a $10,000 reward for information leading to capture of the bank robber. Anyone with information about these robberies or this suspect is urged to call the FBI at 215-418-4000 or the Philadelphia Police Department; tipsters can remain anonymous.
