Seeking Information on Public Service Credit Union Robbery

May 25, 2010 - The Denver Police Department and the FBI Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force responded to a bank robbery which occurred on Monday, May 24, 2010 at approximately 9:30 a.m. at the Public Service Credit Union, 815 Colorado Blvd., Denver, Colorado.

The suspect is described as a black male, 35-45 years of age, 5'10"-6'0", approximately 180 lbs, medium build, wearing a dark hooded jacket, dark sunglasses, and a dark hat.

He is believed to have worn a jheri curl-type wig in prior bank robberies. The FBI Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force has dubbed this bank robber the "Super Freak Bandit."

The suspect enters the banks, points, and loudly orders the tellers around. He approaches multiple tellers in each bank and makes a verbal demand for money. He has threatened a weapon but no weapon has been shown.

He is believed to be responsible for a total of five bank robberies in the Denver metro area:

03/18/10 at 11:15 a.m., Bank of Choice, 3095 S. Parker Rd. Aurora.

Bank robbery is punishable by a 20-year prison sentence for each offense and increases if a dangerous weapon is used in the commission of the crime.
