It’s been three days since a Miami man successfully robbed two Miami-Dade banks and made off with the cash. The FBI hasn’t been able to find him, but now they know his name.

On Thursday, the FBI said David Veras, 39, was the man who robbed a Bank of America at 2655 NW 54th St., and a Chase Bank at 801 SW 27th Ave. on Monday within 20 minutes of each other.

In both robberies, he walked in, demanded cash from the teller and then ran away once they handed it over, the FBI said.
