FBI offers $25,000 reward for wanted robbery suspect

The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has announced a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the location and arrest of Gordon Montanez, who is wanted over an alleged violent robbery in New York City.

The FBI said Montanez is wanted for his alleged involvement in a Hobbs Act robbery that occurred in February 2026 in New York City, New York.

The agency appealed to members of the public with information about Montanez’s whereabouts to come forward.

The FBI did not provide further details about the alleged robbery in the statement announcing the reward.

The Hobbs Act is a US federal law that criminalises robbery or extortion affecting interstate or foreign commerce.

The FBI said information provided to authorities could lead to a reward of up to $25,000 and the apprehension of the suspect.
