Geezer Bandit

So I have lots to say, but for today I'm only going to tell about the Geezer Bandit. I was watching the news and they showed a bank on TV and I recognized it because it's the same exact bank I go to for AT&T in the mornings. Here's the story.....














SAN DIEGO - An elderly bank robber knocked over his fifth bank in less than three months Monday, law enforcement officials said.
The robber, dubbed the "Geezer Bandit" by local FBI agents, hit the Bank of America at 7680 Girard Ave in La Jolla just before 6 p.m. The man, thought to be in his 70s, displayed a gun and demanded money from a teller. He left the bank on foot with an unspecified amount of cash, investigators said.
Three different rewards, totaling $16,000 are being offered for information leading the arrest and conviction of the robber.
According to the FBI, he is responsible for robbing four other San Diego County banks:
U.S Bank at 9643 Mission Gorge Road, Santee on Aug. 28,
San Diego National Bank at 7877 Ivanhoe in San Diego on Sept. 12,
U.S. Bank at 4627 Carmel Mountain Road in San Diego on Oct. 9,
and Bank of America at 17008 Avenida de Acacias in Rancho Sante Fe on Oct. 26.
The robber is described as a white man in his 70s, between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet 3 inches tall. He is thin with gray hair. Because he has used a gun, he should be considered armed and dangerous, agents said.
