The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Boston Division’s Violent Crimes Task Force is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the location, arrest and prosecution of the perpetrator responsible for 10 bank robberies in the Greater Boston area since last December.

Dubbed the “One Minute Bandit,” the suspect is known for passing notes to tellers, threatening a weapon, demanding cash and then telling them they have exactly one minute to give whatever money is in the drawers.

The white male suspect fled each scene on foot. He is described as being in his 40s to early 50s, and approximately 5’7” to 5’8” in height, with a medium build. In each robbery, he was seen wearing a baseball hat covered by a hooded jacket.

“We’re seeking the public’s help in identifying this serial bank robber because at this point in time, we have exhausted all of our investigative leads, and we want to put an end to his alleged crime spree before somebody gets hurt,” Special Agent Christian Fierabend, supervisor of the FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force, said in a statement.
