On October 16, 2012, the FBI in Phoenix released information about two suspects that are wanted for bank robberies in the Phoenix area.  The FBI is referring to the wanted bank robbers as the “Run-and-Gun Bandits.”  

The first robbery occurred on October 4, 2012 at the Desert Schools Federal Credit Union on 3423 East Bell Road in Phoenix, Arizona.  The second robbery occurred on October 15, 2012 at the Desert Schools Federal Credit Union on 2355 South Alma School Road in Mesa, Arizona.  

During both of the robberies, two unknown black males entered the credit unions as the same time and brandished a dark, semi-automatic handgun.  The first black male would go up to the teller and demand money while the second black male would remain in the customer lobby.  They would also rob customers that were located in the banks at the time of the robbery.  

The first unknown suspect is a black male, and he is believed to be 20 to 25 years of age.  He is about 5’8” tall, and he is about 160 pounds.  He had a dark, long ponytail at the time of the robbery, and he was wearing dark clothing during the time of the crimes.  He has a scar above his left eyebrow.  

The second unknown suspect is also a black male, and he is between 20 and 25 years of age.  He is between 5’10” and 6’0” tall and weighs about 180 pounds.  He has dark hair, and he was wearing a dark bandana during the time of the crime.  

The Desert Schools Federal Credit Union is offering a cash reward of $5,000 for any information that leads to arrest of the suspects.
