FBI Searches for Fugitive Bank Robber

According to a release issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI and the Philadelphia Police Department are seeking the public’s assistance to locate fugitive John Digman, also known as John McCue.

Digman is being charged in U.S. District Court with four counts of bank robbery, in connection with the attempted robbery of the Bank of America branch at 1841 E. Allegheny Ave., Monday, July 11; and the robberies of the PNC Bank branch at 900 Walnut St., also on Monday, July 11; the PNC Bank branch at 1849 Walnut St. on Monday, July 18; and the Beneficial Bank branch at 826 E. Allegheny Ave. on Wednesday, July 20.

Digman is also a suspect in the robbery of the Prudential Savings Bank branch at 238 Moore St. Friday, July 22.

All of the robberies involved the use of threatening demand notes, but there were no physical injuries as a result of these robberies. No weapons were displayed during any of these robberies.

Digman is described as a white male, 48 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, thin build, with multiple tattoos on both arms, including one on his right forearm of the word “Sherry.” He was last known to be living in the 3500 block of Frankford Avenue, but is also known to frequent the Kensington and South Philadelphia areas of the city.

Digman was released earlier this month from federal custody for prior bank robbery convictions and is considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call the FBI at 215-418-4000 or the Philadelphia Police Department at 215-686-3280. There may be a reward for information leading to Digman’s capture, and tipsters can remain anonymous.
