BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - The FBI is looking for help identifying a serial bank robber who is suspected of robbing at least three banks in the Greater Boston area.

The latest robbery happened at a Bank of America at 151 Centre Street in Malden on Monday.

The subject is described as a light skinned Hispanic male in his 30s, approximately 5'4" to 5'8" tall, medium build with brown hair and a goatee.

During all the robberies, the subject wore a fedora style hat. He presented a manila envelope to the teller and verbally demanded money. No weapon was shown during the robbery and no one was physically hurt.
