ROSEMEAD - A man was stabbed and robbed of a briefcase full of diamond engagement rings Tuesday, authorities said.
The crime was reported about 5:20 p.m. in the 3600 block of Rosemead Boulevard, Los Angles County sheriff's Lt. Mike O'Shea said.

Not a lot's been written about this guy. But he's known as the "Dust Mask Bandit" and is apparently responsible for robberies in Alhambra, Encino and Orange.
The Orange County Register has a nice interactive Google map of bank robberies in their coverage area with some details. The Dust Mask Bandit is mentioned in the story.
