Fbi: Serial Robber Likely Hit A 10th Bank

Posted: February 22, 2013

ON THE DAY he was featured on the cover of the People Paper, a serial bank robber may have struck again.

Authorities believe that the man who robbed a TD Bank on Garrett Road in Upper Darby about 1:30 p.m., Thursday is the same person implicated in nine prior robberies and attempts around the region.

According to federal investigators, the surveillance images, description from tellers and methods match that of the serial robber they've been seeking. The man in each robbery presented the teller with a demand note and walked out with an undisclosed amount of cash, authorities said.

The one difference? In most of the previous robberies, the man's face is plainly seen with thick, black-rimmed glasses and a goatee. Surveillance images from Thursday's incident show the robber wearing a bucket-style hat partially covering his face.

He is described as a black man in his late 20s to early 30s, about 5 feet 10, with a medium build, medium to dark complexion, a goatee and glasses.

Anyone with information about the heists or the robber is asked to contact the FBI at 215-418-4000 or Philadelphia police at 215-686-TIPS.
