FBI interviewing suspected 'Irreconcilable Differences' bandit
The FBI and Glendale detectives are interviewing a man suspected of being the "Irreconcilable Differences" bandit at the Glendale Jail in connection with at least 16 bank robberies that have gone down through Los Angeles County and at least one in Westlake Village since December. Police caught him after noon today after being alerted to a bank robbery by silent alarm at a Wells Fargo Bank on Brand Boulevard. He was caught in a MacDonald's parking structure nearby about 12:30 p.m., said Glendale Police spokesman John Balian. His identity was not immediately released. FBI agents believe he is the Irreconcilable Differences Bandit, a middle-aged man with salt-and-pepper hair who told a teller during a heist in Beverly Hills that he was going through a divorce and needed help wiring the money.
UPDATE at 3:49 p.m.: The FBI identified the suspect as Alan Freibaum, age 55.
