FBI looking for armed bank robber

BOSTON - The FBI is seeking the public's assistance in identifying an individual who was allegedly involved in several bank robberies.

The armed man is sought in connection with the robbery of Stoneham Savings Bank earlier this month, as well as three other convenience stores in Cambridge and Revere.

On March 2, around 3:30 p.m., a masked man walked into the bank and pulled out a black semi-automatic handgun. He pointed the gun at the bank employees while making a verbal demand for money, said officials.

In addition to obtaining money from the bank tellers, the suspect also robbed a bank customer standing in line.

The man is believed to have robbed a Cambridge Quick Food Mart in February and the Kirkland Convenience Store on December 15. He is also wanted for an armed robbery at the 7 Day Convenience Store in Revere on Jan. 29.

The suspect is a white male, approximately in his 30s, about 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 4 inches, weighing 325-350 pounds. He is considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force at 617-742-5533.
