HOUSTON WHITNEY BANK SECURITY GUARD HELD HOSTAGE DURING ROBBERY
The FBI Bank Robbery Task Force is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the man who took a security guard hostage and robbed the Whitney Bank, address 5115 Main Street, Houston, Texas, today. At approximately 11AM, a lone black male entered the bank and grabbed the security guard at gunpoint. While holding a semi automatic pistol to the guard’s back, the robber demanded money from the tellers, threatening money or the guard’s life. The robber forced everyone inside the bank to get down on the floor before he fled the bank with the cash. Witnesses observed the robber drive off in an older model green minivan.
The robber is described as a black male, 30-40 years of age, approximately 5’5” – 5’6” tall with a stocky build, mustache and beard. During the robbery, he wore a gray zip up hooded jacket and blue jeans. He was armed with a black semi automatic handgun.
