BARRINGTON R.I. (WPRI) - The suspected bank robber known as the "Bearded Bandit", may have struck again.
Barrington police released surveillance photos, showing a suspect who robbed the Bank of America on County Road at about 3:30 p.m. Thursday.
The man did not show a weapon, and fled the bank on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The robbery is suspected to be linked with a current rash of bank robberies in the area . The suspect meets the physical description of a man in at least four similar robberies in Rhode Island.
Police are attempting to identify and locate the suspect. He is described as a white male in his thirties about 5'7'' to 5'10'' tall, with a full beard, wearing a blue knit cap and brown long sleeve hooded sweatshirt.
The FBI says they have received several tips.
Anyone with information is asked to please call the Confidential Tip Line of 437-3933 or Barrington Police at 437-3930.
