FBI Searches for Bandaged Bandit
The FBI and local law enforcement agencies are asking for the public’s help in identifying and locating a serial bank robber dubbed the “Bandaged Bandit". This robber has hit at least three Chase Bank branches-all located inside Fred Meyer stores-in just about two weeks. In each case, the robber walked into the branch, demanded cash from the teller, and left the bank on foot. In each case, the robber covered his face with bandages or a medical mask, and he wore gloves and what appeared to be silver-colored sneakers.
