HUMBLE, TX — The FBI’s Violent Crime Task Force is asking for help to identify the man investigators have dubbed the "Gilligan Robber," who robbed a Capitol One Bank Branch in northeast on Thursday. The robbery happened at about 2 p.m. on Dec. 13, at 3037 FM 1960 in Humble, according to investigators.
