A serial bandit who clearly needs a name

| | Comments (1) |
A guy in a Yankees cap is making the rounds of WaMu banks in the SGV terrorizing customers and getting away with some serious cash. Funny thing, not only does he like WaMu, but he has a favorite branch in Covina, at least that's how it looks. Here's a couple of surveillance photos, a list of locations and a poll. Enjoy.

Mike Alrerich of the bank terrorism blog sent this heads up:
Just Fyi the susp. that was mentioned in Wed. article hitting Wamu on Colorado Bl. is good for Wamu in Glendale 11-3, Wamu W.Covina Twice, 10-2 & 7-21 plus others.

Checking out the FBI's labankrobbers.org 
I found this surveillance photo ...it matches surveillance photos from Mike's list of WaMu stick-ups. Here's the photo:

Crime Tip of the Day.

Print out photos of 'In-a-Rut Bandito" from above and/or the FBI website and request your bank manager tape it the front door and give copies to the bank employees.
Obviously banks can't afford it or just don't care.
If you want something done right do it yourself.
Anyone see a problem there?
