The FBI is searching for a serial bank robber.

Federal agents said the same man is believed to be behind a series of hold-ups at banks and credit unions in November. The first one happened Nov. 4 at a Key Bank at 2299 S. Highland Drive. The man handed a teller a note demanding money.

On Nov. 10, the same man held up a Wells Fargo Bank in Magna, demanding money through a note. A similar robbery took place Nov. 25 at a Cyprus Credit Union in Magna.

The robber is described as white, about 6 feet tall with a medium build. Wells Fargo Bank and the Utah Bankers Association are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the robber's capture. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 801-579-1400.
