Law enforcement is seeking the public’s help finding two suspects responsible for unrelated bank robberies in Lakewood and Littleton that occurred less than a week apart.
At 10:05 a.m. on Jan. 10, a man threatened a teller at the Colorado State Bank and Trust in Littleton, saying he had a weapon and demanding money, according to the FBI. He fled the bank, which is on South Kipling Parkway north of Colorado 470, and drove north. A 2000 to 2006 Lincoln LS sedan may be associated with the robbery.
The FBI described him as a 5 feet 6 inch or 5 feet 7 inch male who weighed about 180 pounds. He wore a blue beanie, dark sunglasses, dark turtleneck, dark Nike shirt, a light blue undershirt, dark pants and dark tennis shoes.
