Sheriff, FBI searching for unsuccessful bank robbery suspect in Jeffco

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said the man attempted to rob a FirstBank – the same bank hit by a robber just three days earlier.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. — A bank in Jefferson County was hit by a robber twice in three days. 

The first suspect robbed the bank and fled on foot; the second suspect was unsuccessful in robbing the same bank and fled on foot, the sheriff's office said. 

The FirstBank at 11767 W. Ken Caryl Ave. was first hit on Monday. Deputies are still searching for that suspect. 

The second suspect walked into the FirstBank Thursday around 11:15 a.m. Wednesday.

FBI/Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force is looking for the suspect they described as between 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-8, in his mid to late 20s with a full beard that covers most of his neck.
