The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect tied to the robbery of four banks and the attempted robbery of another in recent months.

Two of those banks were in El Dorado Hills, and the others were in Davis, Yuba City, and Dixon:

- Friday, November 23, 2018, at approximately 1:55 p.m.

River City Bank located at 239 E Street in Davis

- Tuesday, November 27, 2018, at approximately 2:05 p.m.
U.S. Bank located at 903 Colusa Avenue in Yuba City

- Wednesday, January 2, 2019, at approximately 1:43 p.m.
U.S. Bank located at 1020 White Rock Road in El Dorado Hills

- Friday, February 15, 2019, at approximately 3:25 p.m.
U.S. Bank located at 1020 white Rock Road in El Dorado Hills

The suspect allegedly attempted to rob the Wells Fargo Bank located at 1235 Stratford Avenue in Dixon on Saturday, March 2, 2019 but was unsuccessful.

During the commission of each of the robberies, the suspect entered the bank, approached the teller, and presented a demand note. After receiving money, the suspect then departed on foot.

He appears to be a Caucasian male, 20 to 30 years old, 5’6” to 5’10” tall with a thin build. He has frequently worn hooded sweatshirts with the hood pulled over baseball-style caps, dark basketball-style shorts, and black shoes.

Images of the suspect, including a composite developed from surveillance footage from the robberies, are available on the FBI’s Wanted Bank Robber website: https://bankrobbers.fbi.gov/robbers-container/2018-12-20.9882688550.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department, Davis Police Department, Dixon Police Department, and Yuba City Police Department are investigating this series of bank robberies.

Individuals with information about this man may call the FBI Sacramento Field Office. Tips may also be submitted online at tips.fbi.gov. If the subject is spotted in the community, the public is urged to call 911 and not approach the individual. Wanted fugitives, bank robbers, and other cases in need of additional information from the public are posted on the FBI Sacramento Division’s Most Wanted page.
