Police in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, arrested John W.
Lubow last week based on federal charges out of Oregon for a series of three
bank robberies that happened in Portland on February 14, 2020. According to the
federal criminal complaint filed by the FBI, Lubow, age 55, robbed three banks
in less than 40 minutes:
1:52 p.m. – Bank
of the West, 419 NW Broadway, Portland
2:17 p.m. –
OnPoint Community Credit Union, 2011 West Burnside Street, Portland
2:29 p.m. –
HomeStreet Bank, 22 NW 23rd Avenue, Portland
According to the charging document, Lubow threatened that he
had a weapon in each of the robberies. Portland Police Bureau officers
responded to each of the three robberies, and media attention generated by PPB
caused multiple witnesses and tipsters to contact PPB and the FBI.
Lubow is currently in custody in Maryland awaiting
extradition to Oregon.
A criminal complaint is only an accusation of a crime, and
all defendants should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon is
prosecuting this case.
