The five robberies have all taken place in the Falls Church-Seven Corners-Arlington area.

On Friday, the suspect the FBI has dubbed the “Forever Loyal” bank robber, because of a T-shirt he wore inscribed with that saying, entered the Capital One Bank located at 3532 Columbia Pike in Arlington (see map below). The subject approached a teller and produced a note demanding money. Upon receiving an undisclosed amount of cash, the subject fled the bank.
