According to police, the "Shaggy Bandit" entered the TCF Bank at 7203 W. 55th Ave. in Arvada around 1:30 p.m., gave a verbal demand and put the money in a backpack he brought with him.

Police say it was the same M.O. he's had in other robberies, however, the TCF Bank was a stand alone building. Many of the other robberies believed to have been committed by the "Shaggy Bandit" have been at branches in grocery stores.
Investigators call him the "Shaggy Bandit" because he looks like "Shaggy" from "Scooby-Doo."

Police believe his 13th robbery was of a First Bank inside the King Soopers on 30th Street.

The FBI now believes he has robbed 13 banks in Colorado and one in Arizona. They say he seems to prefer banks inside grocery stores.

Investigators think there is a second person waiting in a get-away car outside the banks, but at this time they do not have a description of that person.

He is described as a man in his late 20s or early 30s, he has a slim build, is between 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall and has blondish hair. He may have facial hair and acne or pock marks on his face. He usually wears a hat and carries a backpack.
