Photos Released in Comerica Bank Robbery

Bandit Wore Blue Work Coveralls

The FBI needs your help in identifying the man who robbed the Comerica Bank located at 13300 Almeda Road in Houston, Texas on Monday, March 19, 2012. The robber wore blue work coveralls, but it is unclear if the robber is a working man or if he wore them as a disguise. Photographs from the bank’s surveillance cameras are below.

At approximately 12:45 p.m., the robber entered the bank and approached the teller counter. He handed the teller a note that demanded money. He made a gesture with his hands just behind a small black canvass bag he carried during the robbery. The gesture made the teller believe he was possibly armed with a pistol. The teller gave the robber some cash. The robber fled the bank. No one was physically hurt. There is no known vehicle description to release at this time.

The bank robber is described as black, 35-40 years old, approximately 5’9”-5’10” tall, with an average build, and a dark complexion. During the robbery, he wore blue work coveralls, a blue beanie hat, and large dark plastic sunglasses. He carried a small black canvas bag and was possibly armed with a pistol.
