Armed and dangerous: FBI Richmond needs help identifying, capturing ‘Dapper Dan Bandit’

On October 6, the FBI’s Richmond, Virginia, headquarters reached out to the public asking for assistance in identifying and capturing a bank robber dubbed the “Dapper Dan Bandit.”

During the afternoon hours of September 29, an armed male subject entered the First Community Bank, located in the 11000 block of Midlothian Turnpike, of North Chesterfield, Virginia, and proceeded to demand money from the victim teller in specific denominations. Once the teller complied with his demands, the bandit returned the firearm to his waist band and left the bank on foot.

The FBI subject is described as a slender white male, approximately 5’8” to 5’9”, 40 to 50 years of age with auburn/brown hair.

At the time of the robbery, he was wearing a gray five panel/flat cap, a light-colored dress shirt, a dark blue blazer/jacket, khaki pants, white socks, brown square-toed dress shoes, sunglasses, a white medical-style mask and black “mechanics” gloves with white lettering.

This subject, nicknamed the “Dapper Dan Bandit”, should be considered armed and dangerous.

A “Wanted by the FBI” poster has been created for this subject.

FBI Richmond’s Central Virginia Violent Crimes Task Force, with the assistance of the Chesterfield County Police Department, is investigating this case. If you have any information to help identify this person, please contact the FBI Richmond Field Office at (804) 261-1044 or send tips to tips.FBI.gov.
