HOUSTON, TX—The FBI Violent Crime Task Force seeks assistance from the public to identify and locate a suspect, dubbed the “Yankees Cap Crook,” who is responsible for a Houston area bank robbery.
On January 4, 2021, a man entered the Woodforest Bank located within a Walmart store at 1313 Fry Road in Katy at approximately 6:45 p.m. He requested a withdrawal slip from a teller, then made a written demand for cash. The suspect proceeded to the Money Center area of the store and approached an employee assisting a customer who was making a payment. The man demanded cash from the transaction with the customer and lifted his jacket, exposing the grip of a black semi-automatic pistol. The employee gave the cash to the robber. The suspect left with an undisclosed amount of money and is also wanted in connection with a robbery that occurred later that night at a Walmart located at 8538 IH-35 in San Antonio.
