Accused 'Stopwatch Bandit' Now Faces Time: FBI

MIAMI, FL -- The accused "Stopwatch Bandit" is now facing time, according to the FBI in Miami.

Twenty-five-year-old Davion Eugene Clark of Miami Gardens was taken into custody Friday night without incident and is accused of robbing two Miami area banks Thursday morning within an hour of one another.

"Investigators believe the same individual robbed both banks and have dubbed him the "Stopwatch Bandit" because during each robbery he showed bank employees a stopwatch app on his cellphone that appeared to be counting down," explained Special Agent Michael Leverock and spokesman Jim Marshall of the FBI in Miami.

The bandit first struck the TD Bank branch at 16200 NW 57th AVE in Miami Lakes around 9:26 a.m.

Less than an hour later around 10:16 a.m. he struck the Chase Bank branch at 175th NW 199th Street, Miami, according to the FBI.

"Clark is in federal custody and is facing federal charges," said Leverock and Marshall on Monday morning.

The FBI would not say how much money was taken during the robberies.

"During both robberies, the robber entered the bank and demanded money from a bank employee," Leverock and Marshall said. "Customers were in both banks. There were no injuries."

The Miami Gardens Police Department, Miami-Dade Police Department, South Florida Violent Crime Task Force and the FBI all participated in the investigation.

No further information was available.
