The man, dubbed the “Big Box Bandit,” robbed the FSNB, a bank inside a Walmart in Clinton, Tennessee, back in May.

A few days later, the same man entered another FSNB bank inside another Walmart, this time in Kingsport, Tennessee. He was carrying a manila envelope.

In both robberies, the man entered the banks and demanded money be placed in the provided envelope.

As FBI agents and local law enforcement agencies began piecing together clues, they noticed he also robbed a bank inside a Walmart in Shelbyville, Indiana and a standalone bank in Candler, North Carolina.

Most recently, the suspect is believed to have car jacked an individual in West Knoxville on June 21 and used that vehicle in a robbery of a check cashing business inside another Walmart in Chattanooga later that day.

The suspect weighs between 180 and 190 pounds and stands approximately 5-foot-8-inches to 5-foot-9-inches tall. He wore a beard in some of the robberies and a goatee in others.
