The
FBI and law enforcement officials spanning three separate regions in the
western United States continue to seek public assistance relative to an
unidentified armed bank robber now linked to three bank robberies, the most
recent of which occurred in the Seattle area on July 6, 2012. Following the
initial robbery that occurred in Chino, California, on February 29, 2012, the
suspect shot a police officer with the Chino Police Department, seriously
wounding him.
In
each robbery, the suspect brandishes an AK-47–style assault rifle with a drum
magazine. The suspect is seen in bank surveillance video and photographs
dressed in tactical gear over a dark-colored, short-sleeved collared shirt and
blue pants. He also wears a black full-face ski mask, a blue ballistic vest,
and/or a green mesh vest marked “Sheriff.” The suspect is known to law
enforcement as the AK-47 Bandit. A reward of up to $20,000 is being offered in
exchange for information leading to the arrest of the suspect known as the
AK-47 Bandit. Anyone with information as to the identity or whereabouts of the
AK-47 Bandit should refrain from approaching the suspect and is urged to
contact law enforcement immediately. In Los Angeles, the FBI may be reached 24
hours a day at 888-CANT-HIDE (888-228-8443).
