Modern day Bonnie and Clyde

The FBI and local police are seeking the public’s assistance with information leading to the identification of a couple known as the “Newlywed Bandits,” believed to be responsible for five bank robberies. Three of the banks alleged to have been robbed by the pair were committed when the Newlywed Bandits entered the bank together. During two of the robberies, however, the bank was robbed by individuals described as one of the Newlywed Bandits; one by the female and the other by the male.

During the first robbery which occurred on 10/18, the male Newlywed Bandit entered the bank and approached the victim teller; he used a note to demand cash and threatened a weapon. The female is alleged to have entered the bank during the second robbery using the same m.o.

On Oct. 30 and Nov. 6, the couple entered the bank together and robbed one victim teller, using a demand note and threatening a weapon, according to witnesses.

The most recent robbery occurred yesterday, Nov. 8 in La Habra. During that robbery, the bandits robbed one teller each before exiting the bank.

The Newlywed Bandits are considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information should contact their local FBI office or their local law enforcement agency. The FBI in Los Angeles can be reached 24 hours per day, seven days a week at (310) 477-6565.
