Up to $5,000 Cash Reward
HOUSTON, TX / March 5, 2026 —The FBI Violent Crime Task Force is asking for the public’s help identifying and locating a man dubbed the “Coverall Crook” who robbed three banks in the last two weeks. Crime Stoppers of Houston is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to the identification and arrest of the suspect.
Both the first and third robberies took place at the First Convenience Bank located within the Food Town grocery store at 5367 Antoine Drive in northwest Houston, Texas. These robberies occurred at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, February 21, 2026, and again at approximately 9:50 a.m. on Thursday, March 5, 2026.
During these robberies, the suspect entered the bank, approached a teller, and handed them a threatening note demanding cash. He left the bank on foot both times with an undisclosed amount of money. After the third robbery, the plastic bag containing the stolen cash broke open and spilled onto the parking lot. The suspect collected the fallen cash and fled the parking lot on a bicycle.
The second robbery occurred at approximately 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at the Woodforest Bank Branch located within the Kroger grocery store at 12434 State Highway 249 in north Houston.

The suspect remained at the counter for a short time, then walked away without any money, and was last seen fleeing from the Kroger grocery store on a bicycle. No one was physically hurt during any of the robberies.
The suspect is described as a black male in his mid-50s, approximately 5’9” tall with a medium build, a graying goatee, and thick eyebrows.
