"Geezer Bandit" could be much younger masked man, or woman, says FBI
(CBS) LOS ANGELES - The "Geezer Bandit" is one of Southern California's most wanted criminals, suspected of pulling off 15 bank heists in the region. But the FBI now says the "Geezer" could be a lot younger than he - or she -looks.
According to CBS Los Angeles, the FBI believes the bandit could be using an elaborate latex mask from a special effects company that sells items online.
One bank teller who saw the bandit up close agreed with the Bureau's assessment that the robber is likely just wearing a mask.
"Something didn't look normal, it wasn't a normal face," said the witness. "He came in, requested money and passed a note and said 'If you don't, I will murder you and everyone else in the bank.'"
A $20,000 reward has been offered for any information leading to the arrest of the "Geezer Bandit."
