U.S. Marshals are offering a reward upward of $5,000 for information leading to Martin's arrest. He was last known to be living in the Springfield, Vt., area where he has friends and family.

During multiple robberies, Martin allegedly showed a firearm. At times, he dressed as a woman during robberies. He has continued to rob banks and other businesses while he was a fugitive, Marshals say.

In addition to robberies in Springfield, Ludlow, and Brattleboro, Vermont, Martin is wanted for similar incidents in Loudon and Charlestown, N.H.
