FBI asks for help identifying for ‘one-hit wonders’ metro Denver bank robbers

The FBI Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force alongside Denver and Greenwood Village Police Departments are searching for three individuals who independently robbed banks earlier this year.

Investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying suspects based off security camera photos.

The FBI Denver Division is referring to them as “One-hit wonders” as each suspect has only been linked to one robbery, according to an FBI news release.

The robberies include:

• Suspect 1: Jan. 2 at approx. 3:15 p.m. CrossFirst Bank Denver, 4582 South Ulster St., Denver

• Suspect 2: Jan. 3 at approx. 5:35 p.m., ENT Credit Union, 1499 Wynkoop St., Denver

• Suspect 3: Jan. 14 at approx. 11:25 a.m., Bank of America, 5117 S. Yosemite St., Greenwood Village

Suspect one was captured in the above security photo, but no written description of the person’s appearance was provided.

Suspect two 2 is described as a white male, 50-to-60 years old, with a large build, who wore glasses during the bank robbery.

Suspect 3 is described as a white female, approximately 5’5” tall, 40-50 years old, wearing a camouflage trapper hat, prescription glasses, a blue coat and black gloves. According to the release, the suspect walked with a limp.

The FBI and respective police departments are hoping that members of the public will be able to provide information that will assist them in identifying individuals in the photos.

“We know that mobilizing the general public is a powerful crime-fighting tool,” said FBI Denver Special Agent in Charge Mark Michalek in the release. “In fact, we have a recent federal sentencing in which we identified the so-called Penguin Bandit after a tip came in from the public. Someone out there will recognize these suspects if we can get the images in front of enough eyes.”

They advise the public to lookout for “anyone similar who might have recently changed their spending habits or discussed coming into money suddenly.”

Anyone with information regarding one of the robberies or about the identity of a suspect is asked to contact Denver Police, Greenwood Village Police, the FBI or Metro Denver CrimeStoppers at 720-913-7867 to remain anonymous.
