BOSTON (WHDH) - The FBI is asking for the public’s help in identifying a man dubbed the “One Minute Bandit” who officials say has robbed 10 banks in the Greater Boston area.
During each of the robberies, investigators said the suspect passed notes to the tellers, threatened them with a weapon, and demanded cash. They said suspect also told each teller that they had exactly one minute to empty their drawers and turn over whatever money they had.
The FBI described the suspect as a white man in his 40s to early 50s, about 5 feet 8 inches in height, with a medium build. In each robbery, he was seen wearing a baseball hat covered by a hooded jacket. The man also apparently fled each robbery on foot.
