The FBI is searching for a man dubbed the "Be Right Back Bandit" after he robbed a Texas bank.

On June 7, the suspect entered Frost Bank in Houston and spoke to a teller about opening an account. When asked for identification, the man responded, "I'll be right back," and walked toward the bank doors, where he pulled a gun on a security officer, according to federal authorities.

The man reapproached the teller and demanded cash. He fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. No one was physically hurt during the incident.

Witnesses described the robber as a Black male in his late 30s, 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a medium build and beard. He was last seen wearing a beige hoodie, black basketball shorts, and a black medical mask.

The FBI is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to his identification and arrest.
