The string of robberies started October 19th at BB&T Bank in Pikesville. Soon after, the suspect hit banks in Parkville, Harbor East, Fells Point, and Locust Point.

The most recent robbery was on November 19. The man captured on surveillance cameras robbing a Wells Fargo Bank in Linthicum in broad daylight.

"It makes me think like what else is safe, if you can't go into a bank, what's next," a Linthicum bank customer.

"He'll go into the bank, approach the teller, provide a demand note," said FBI Special Agent Steve Skinner, speaking about Coleman's tactics.
