The FBI says a bank robber has been hard at work in the area, hitting 13 banks in the past four months.
The robber has hit banks in Boston, Watertown, Quincy, Belmont, Natick, and Arlington, passing a teller in each case a note demanding money. In at least one of the robberies, he threatened that he had a gun, said FBI spokeswoman Gail Marcinkiewicz.
The first robbery in the spree was Dec. 22. The last was on Tuesday at the Leader Bank on Pleasant Street in Belmont.
“Experience has shown that he’s going to continue robbing banks until he’s caught,” said Marcinkiewicz.
The suspect is described as a white male, 30 to 40 years old, 5-foot-10 to 6-foot-0, with a medium to heavy build. In at least two of the robberies, he wore a Boston Water & Sewer work jacket.
Anyone with information is urged to call the FBI at 617-742-5533.
