FBI Offers $10K Reward To Help Catch 'Scream' Mask Suspect

RICHMOND, VA — Investigators are looking for a robbery suspect who often wears a mask from the horror movie "Scream." The FBI is offering up to $10,000 for any information on the person known as the "Scream Bandit," who may be responsible for at least six robberies in Richmond and surrounding counties, according to the FBI.

In each of these robberies, the "Scream Bandit" entered the business with a semi-automatic weapon and demanded the clerk put money in a bag. The suspect has struck three times in Richmond, twice in Henrico County and once in Chesterfield County. All six robberies took place at convenience stores at gas stations.

The most recent incident happened Jan. 26 at the Goldy's Gas Station on Arthur Ashe Boulevard in Richmond. The "Scream Bandit" pointed a gun at the clerk and demanded money, according to police.

Surveillance footage of the robbery shows the armed robber pushing one of the clerks down and flipping over a register to get more money.

The subject has been described as a black male, approximately five-feet seven-inches to five-feet 10-inches tall, weighing between 160 and 180 pounds, and 20 to 30 years of age, according to the FBI. The suspect has been seen wearing all black clothing, black or blue gloves, and a "Scream" mask.

People with any information about the incidents are asked to call investigators with the FBI's Central Virginia Violent Crimes Task Force at 804-261-1044 or provide tips via tips.FBI.gov.
