NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A man connected to at least six robberies and attempted robberies has been identified by police Wednesday.
Police say Robert Durham has spent the last month committing robberies from August 22nd to the 30th, Durham has been on quite the crime spree.
The 43-year-old started at Dunkin Donuts on Elliston Place. MNPD says he robbed the restaurant last Monday.
The next day he went over to Boost Mobile on Charlotte Avenue where the employee says he was in and out in about two minutes.
She says he never showed a gun but asked for all the cash in the register and took off.
The following days police say Durham hit the shops at Hill Center in Green Hills. He walked inside Brandy Melville Clothing Store and robbed them as well.
By August 24 - police say Durham walked into three different banks - and walked out with money from 2 of them. Police say in one of them - he did show a gun.
Robbery is nothing new to Durham, Metro Nashville Police say he was charged federally for robbing a bank in 2010.
Apparently, he was back at it in July and August of 2020 as well.
Just like here in Nashville - Durham's face was plastered all over the police's social media in Memphis.
He was accused of bank robbery there and was eventually arrested.
Instead of sending Durham to prison the judge asked that he be sent to a residential drug treatment program and then as soon as that was finished, he would be released and on supervised release for three years.
Durham is still on the run. Police say it's just a matter of time before he strikes again.
Police were able to identify Durham by his hand tattoos and compared surveillance footage to his old mugshots.
A vehicle was also recovered that had his information inside.
