Convicted NH Bank Robber Accused Of Supervised Release Violation

CONCORD, NH — The U.S. Marshals-New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force is asking for the public's help finding a convicted bank robber who has been accused of a supervised release violation.

Brandon Lee Lanum is 36, about 5-feet, 11-inches tall, and weighs around 200 lbs. He has brown hair and hazel eyes. Lanum, who is originally from Florida, has a number of tattoos including the word "Faith" on his neck, a burning cross on his calf, "Carpe Diem" on his chest, a dragon on his hip, and an angel with fire on his back, according to Jeffrey White, a deputy marshal.

A warrant for his arrest was issued on March 24.

"Lanum was last known to be residing at a sober house in Manchester," White said. "Lanum is currently homeless and has strong ties throughout New Hampshire."

Lanum robbed the Citizens Bank on South Street in Concord in December 2011. He was found guilty in 2012. Lanum was out on parole at the time of the robbery and that parole was revoked, according to court records.

Lanum has a lengthy criminal history including burglary convictions in April 2002 and theft arrests in Stratham in 2001. According to Seacoastonline.com, he was arrested after a home invasion and shooting in Alstead and was later convicted of second-degree assault and burglary in July 2007 — after also being charged with first-degree assault. He was living in North Reading, Massachusetts, at the time. Lanum was also arrested on conspiracy-false report of explosives and criminal liability-burglary charges out of Concord but only convicted on the liability charge in August 2012, according to superior court records.
