The FBI Offers $10,000 in Its Search For the ‘Route 91 Bandit’
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is asking for the public’s help in locating a man nicknamed the “Route 91 Bandit,” who they say is responsible for at least 11 bank robberies in New England over the past five months.
The robberies all took place at banks along US Route 91, the north-south interstate highway that stretches from New Haven, Connecticut, to the US-Canada border.
The first robbery happened on September 9, 2021, at Arrha Credit Union in West Springfield, Massachusetts, and the most recent robbery was on January 27 at Franklin First Federal Credit Union in Greenfield, Massachusetts. In between, the robber hit banks as far south as Liberty Bank in Avon, Connecticut, and as far north as the Savings Bank of Walpole in Keene, New Hampshire.
