Casual Crook Robs Bank While Customers Unaware

The FBI Bank Robbery Task Force needs your help identifying the man who very casually robbed a Houston area bank earlier today. The bank’s surveillance cameras captured some good photographs of the man during the robbery of the Bank of America located inside the Food Town grocery store at 9525 S. Kirkwood in Houston, Texas.

At approximately 11:05 a.m., the man entered the bank and casually waited in line with other customers before robbing the bank. When it was his turn, he walked up to the teller and slipped her a threatening note demanding money. The robber got away with some cash. No one was physically hurt during the robbery.

The robber is described as a black male, approximately 25-30 years old, 5’2” - 5’5” tall, with a medium to stocky build and a short, Afro-style haircut. He wore a bright green tee-shirt and dark sunglasses.

Crime Stoppers of Houston is offering up to $5,000 for information leading to the charging and arrest of this robber, or any felony suspect. If you have information about this crime, please call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 713-222-TIPS (8477), or the Houston office of the FBI at 713-693-5000.
