ERIE, Pa. — The FBI, along with law enforcement officials across the country, are seeking the public's assistance in identifying a serial bank robber who is accused of robbing at least 10 banks across the United States since June, the most recent of which was in Erie.

According to police, during each robbery, the robber, known to police as the "Bucket List Bandit," enters the bank, approaches the teller, and presents a demand note.

Investigators said the robber has also been known to carry a black, zippered portfolio. In several of the robberies, he has alluded to having a weapon, though none was observed.
