Authorities are on the hunt for a suspected serial bank robber after he struck again this month after a nearly two-year hiatus . The suspect is said to have held up the First Nebraska Bank in Nebraska City , Nebraska , on August 22 . He 's wanted in connection to a string of other robberies -- in Idaho , Washington and California in 2012 -- including one where he shot a police officer . `` We want to make everybody aware of how violent this individual is . He 's not afraid to pull the trigger . He 's already shot a police officer , so anybody who gives him any resistance , he 's not afraid to act , '' Detective Carlos Dominguez , with the Chino , California , police department , told reporters Sunday . The suspect , dubbed the `` AK-47 Bandit , '' stormed the bank in Nebraska with an assault style rifle and a black duffel bag , according to the FBI . He emptied the front drawers before ordering all employees to the vault area . He told one to take money from the safe . Authorities have linked him to the other robberies because of certain similarities , said FBI Omaha Special Agent in Charge Thomas Metz . The suspect carries a weapon that appears to be an AK-47 , or something similar . He has distinct blue eyes , wears a black mask , a ballistic vest and gloves . He 's believed to be white , about 5 feet , 9 inches tall and weighs somewhere between 175 and 200 pounds . There is a $ 100,000 reward for information leading to his capture .
