By Canton Citizen

The FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force is seeking the public’s assistance to identify an unknown serial bank robber who robbed two banks in the greater Boston area from July 28 to August 11.

The robber is a black male with a medium athletic build, approximately 25-30 years old, 5’8” to 6’ tall, is clean shaven and may have a tattoo on the right side of his neck. While a weapon has not been displayed during any of the robberies, the suspect has gestured to his waist, as if reaching for a weapon. He is considered armed and dangerous.

On Monday, July 28, at approximately 10:20 a.m., the robber entered Century Bank, located at 703 Granite Street in Braintree. The robber wore a long-sleeve button-up dress shirt, yellow tie, sunglasses, and a Red Sox baseball hat. He produced a note to the teller demanding money, and once the money was received, he fled the bank in an unknown direction.

Two weeks later, on Monday, August 11, at approximately 1 p.m., the robber, wearing a blue and white striped dress shirt, entered a Citizens Bank located at 420 Granite Avenue in Milton. He approached a teller and again presented a note demanding money — this time gesturing to his waist, as if to reach for a weapon. With money in hand, the robber exited the bank and entered a red SUV, possibly a Ford Edge, and was last seen driving onto Interstate 93 North.

The robberies are being investigated by the FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force in cooperation with the Massachusetts State Police, as well as the Braintree and Milton police departments.

The wanted poster and the captured bank surveillance photos and can be viewed at bankrobbers.fbi.gov.

Anyone with information regarding the robberies should call the FBI at 617-742-5533, the Braintree Police Department at 781-794-8600, or the Milton Police Department at 617-698-3800.
