The subject may be responsible for robbing TD Bank on Richmond Highway four times between March 2010 and July 2013.

The FBI is currently looking for information on a subject who may be responsible for robbing TD Bank located at 6615 Richmond Hwy., across from Beacon Hill Shopping Center four times from March 2010 to July 2013, according to a recent news release.

The suspect has been dubbed the Beacon Hill Bandit and the FBI's Washington field office is offering up to $5,000 as a reward for any information that leads to the identification, arrest and conviction of the suspect.

During all four incidents, the suspect entered the bank and appeared to be preoccupied on his cell phone, according to the release. The suspect would then approach a teller and demand money or pass a note and garbage bag to the teller demanding money. On three occasions, the suspect indicated that he had a weapon.

According to officials, the suspect fled on foot in the direction of Chili's restaurant after receiving the money.

The suspect is described as a black male, in his thirties, between 5’9” to 6’0” with a muscular build. During all four incidents, he wore sunglasses with square frames. On two occasions, he wore a hard hat and dressed as a construction worker. During the incident in July 2013, the suspect wore a hate with an image that resembled a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle character.
