Suspect Cuts Through Walls in Vacant Buildings to Break Into Banks

The FBI/MPD Violent Crimes Task Force is investigating three bank break-ins in Washington, D.C.

The most recent break-in occurred in the early morning hours of Friday, August 24, 2012, at the M&T Bank located at 1420 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. The other break-ins occurred in the early morning hours of Friday, August 17, 2012, and Tuesday, May 24, 2011, both at the Bank of America located at 2631 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington, D.C.
