SEARCHING FOR ARMED SERIAL BANK ROBBER

The FBI and Springfield Police Department are asking the public's help in identifying and locating a man who appeared to be armed during a robbery Tuesday morning at the US Bank branch located at 1620 Mohawk Boulevard. The man walked in, holding what appeared to be a long gun wrapped in a blanket. He approached the tellers' desk, demanded cash, received cash, and left on foot.

The man involved in Tuesday's robbery is believed to be the same person involved in a similar robbery on September 5, 2013, at a Bank of the West branch in Tualatin. The suspect is believed to be wearing the same hooded jacket in both robberies, and the physical descriptions are almost identical.
