They allegedly “threatened the use of a firearm” as they hit the banks. The most recent theft was Jan. 27, 2022. All of the robberies have taken place at banks dotted along Route 91, which led to the FBI's nickname for the suspect. 

The suspect is described as being between 5 feet, 6 inches and 5 feet, 8 inches, with blue eyes and light hair that they always cover with a hat or a hood.

The FBI believes the suspect is driving a newer model Nissan sedan.

There is currently a reward of “up to $10,000 for information leading to the Route 91 Bandit’s identification, arrest and conviction.”
