FBI Offering $100,000 For Suspect In Violent 'Scream' Mask Robberies
LAKEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) - The FBI is offering a large reward for any information that leads them to a violent bank robber.
They are now offering up to $100,000 for Myloh Jaqory Mason. He's also been added to the FBI's Most Wanted Fugitives List.
Mason is accused in at least six bank robberies. The most recent was captured on surveillance video last month at a 1stBank in Lakewood. Police say Mason and two other men wore "Scream" and skeleton masks and threatened employees with a gun. Mason got away and allegedly shot two people in separate carjackings.
Mason's alleged partners, Miguel David Sanders and Tyrone Richardson, are in custody.
Thomas Ravenelle, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Denver Division, says the suspects terrorized tellers.
"They pointed guns at them, threatened to kill them if they didn't open the vaults," said Ravenelle.
Detectives say Mason and his two accomplices, after one of the robberies, tried to carjack a man. As the victim tried to avoid becoming a hostage he decided to run. The suspects shot the victim four times from behind, creating critical injuries.
The suspects crashed that car. They also attempted to carjack a mother and daughter, shooting the daughter in the process.
U.S. Attorney John Walsh says he has a message for Mason.
"Turn yourself in. You can run, but you can't hide. The combined efforts of federal, local and state efforts will find you," Walsh said.
Mason made the Top 10 list because he's such a threat to the community.
