Massachusetts law enforcement agencies are seeking the public’s assistance to identify a bank robber allegedly responsible for seven armed bank robberies in northeastern Massachusetts since February.  The "Merrimack Valley Bandit" is considered armed and dangerous, the agencies warn. 

The same individual is believed to have hit six TD Bank branches across the Merrimack Valley as well as a NESC Credit Union location in Methuen, with the most recent robbery taking place on April 9.

A task force composed of the FBI and police departments from Lawrence, Methuen, Dracut, and Groveland is handling the case. The task force is asking the public to review photos of the robber at https://bankrobberies.fbi.gov.  It also plan to use Clear Channel digital billboards to seek tips from the public. The FBI is offering a monetary reward of up to $10,000 for information leading directly to the arrest of the robber.

According to the FBI, during each of the robberies, the robber used a small handgun and pointed it at the tellers.  In some of the robberies, the robber threatened to harm the tellers should they not comply with his commands. To facilitate his getaway, the robber may have an accomplice waiting nearby in a white or light-colored car.
