DENVER — The FBI and Denver area police agencies asked Wednesday for the public's help in finding a man who robbed four banks in two days.

According to a crime alert from the Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force, the most recent robbery happened just before noon Tuesday at the First Bank at 6701 S. Wadsworth Blvd. in Jefferson County.

In that robbery, the man approached the teller, verbally demanded money and threatened the teller before leaving the bank, the alert says.
