"Geezer Bandit" Hits 6 Banks in 6 Months, Pretty Good for an Old Man
The FBI has released surveillance images of the elderly robber who has apparently hit six banks in six months in the San Diego area.
The most recent heist took place Wednesday at the San Diego National Bank in the Point Loma area. The tellers described the suspect as a white male, 60-70 years old.
But this was no kindly grandpa. According to witness accounts he flashed a silver-and-black semiautomatic weapon while presenting a note demanding money. Police haven't said how much he got away with.
Three rewards, totaling $16,000, have been offered for information leading to the arrest of the "Geezer Bandit." Police believe he is armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information concerning these robberies is asked to contact the FBI at (858) 565-1255, or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-TIPS.
