FBI hunts ‘Afternoon Delight Bandit’ in Brighton bank robberies

Editor’s note: the suspected was arrested on Thursday, according to a press release from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The office did not share any further details regarding the suspect’s arrest.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday released two surveillance photos of a man they’ve nicknamed the “Afternoon Delight Bandit.”

The FBI said they gave him the moniker because he’s robbed two banks in the middle of the afternoon.

Both broad-daylight bank robberies happened in Brighton. The first was on Feb. 6 at 3 p.m. at the TBK Bank at 30 N. 4th Ave. The second happened on Feb. 19 at 2:40 p.m. at the Bank of Colorado at 13 N. 50th Ave.

In both robberies, authorities said the suspect “verbally demanded money and then fled the bank.”

In both surveillance photos released by police, the “Afternoon Delight Bandit” is seen wearing a face covering, glasses and a matching zip-up hoodie and beanie.

Authorities did not provide any suspect description.

Anyone with any information on the incidents is asked to call the FBI Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force at 303-629-7171, the Brighton Police Department at 303-655-8740 or Metro Denver CrimeStoppers at 720-913-7867.
