Based on information and images released by law enforcement, Casaburri appears to be the “backpack bank robber” who has hit several banks in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, including the First National Bank of Newtown branch at the of South Bellevue and Richardson avenues in Langhorne on September 9.
The backpack bank robber is suspected of hitting several banks and making an escape afterwards. In the Langhorne incident, a large police search involving a helicopter was unsuccessful in locating the suspect.

According to an article from WPRI-TV in New England, a man with the same name and age as Casaburri was accused of robbing a bank in Rhode Island earlier this year and arrested in Lancaster County. It was not clear as of publication time whether is was the same suspect and what happened with the Rhode Island case.
