U.S. marshals are looking for a career criminal with a violent history that includes arrests for armed robbery, assault, weapons violations, burglary and stolen vehicles.
Albert Colbert, 51, violated his federal parole in 2003 and has been on the run ever since.
“He just took off,” said Matt Burke, supervisory inspector with the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force. “He just has a long history of armed robberies, burglaries and auto thefts, and we need to bring him in. We’re looking for the public’s help in generating new leads as to his whereabouts.”
Colbert has lived in D.C., Hyattsville, Lanham, Upper Marlboro, Landover and Georgia.
He is described as being 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds and goes by the names Al, Fishman and Money.
Anyone with information regarding Colbert’s whereabouts is asked to call the U.S. Marshals Service at 800-336-0102 or 301-489-1717. Authorities are offering rewards for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of Colbert.
The Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, run by the U.S. Marshals Service, comprises 28 federal, state and local agencies from Baltimore to Norfolk, Va. The unit has captured nearly 19,000 wanted fugitives since its creation in 2004.
