The FBI has upped the reward for info leading to the capture of the "Beltway Bank Bandit" from $5,000 to $10,000.

The thief, a serial bank robber who has been dubbed the Beltway Bank Bandit, is suspected in the robbing of 20 banks around the District of Columbia in the past year, reports NBC Washington.  

The man is described as being in his 20s or 30s, between 5'7 and 6'2," is black, and weighs around 160-170 lbs -- an average-sized adult male.

 

In his latest robbery, he wore a blue medical mask, sunglasses, and an orange construction hat. 

But he is known to vary his appearance and has worn articles of clothing such as "baseball caps, wigs, gloves, hoodies, and even a hijab to disguise himself."

Additionally, he has been spotted "with a single crutch, and he has also appeared with a skirt and cross-body bag," per NBC. 

Bottom line, he's creative. He's also armed and dangerous and has used a gun several times. As an extra data point, he has driven off with a woman at least twice. 

The FBI has yet to ID him, so they are now offering $10,000 for information leading to his capture. Anyone with useful information is encouraged to contact the FBI field office at (202) 278-2000.
