The FBI is asking the community for any information on the “Brazen Bandits” who are suspected of committing 10 bank robberies around the Denver metro since January.
Officials said in each of the bank robberies three suspects have used a “take-over” style robbery where they’ve held bank employees and customers at gunpoint before fleeing.
Each suspect has been described as having a thin build and vary in height. One suspect is approximately 5 foot 4 to 5 foot 6, the second is 5 foot 8 to 5 foot 10 and the last suspect is 5 foot 6 to 5 foot 10.
