Go team!

The FBI Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force (RMSSTF) responded to a bank robbery which occurred on

Tuesday, July 13, 2010 at approximately 5:45 p.m. at the

1st Bank 4350 Wadsworth Blvd. Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80030

The suspect is described as a white male in the attached photographs.

The suspect handed the teller a note which stated that he had a gun and demanded money.

The robber left on foot and was last seen calmly walking south bound in the parking lot until out of sight.

The investigation has revealed that this same person is responsible for three previous robberies:

U.S. Bank 1801 Jackson Street Golden, CO 80401

In the U.S. Bank robbery the described male was wearing a "Letter Jacket" because of the letter jacket the FBI Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force has dubbed the bank robber the "JV Bandit."

The FBI continues to provide financial institutions with the best practices for security to make them less vulnerable to robberies.
