An unidentified suspect known as the “Green Gaiter Bandit” allegedly linked to at least 18 bank robberies and bank robbery attempts in Southern California since October is being sought by the FBI and multiple other law enforcement agencies.
The bureau is asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect seen wearing a green face-covering in surveillance videos at banks in Los Angeles and Orange counties over the last few months.
The suspect usually passes a note or gives a verbal command to a bank teller for cash or “loose bills” before fleeing on foot, the FBI said in a release Wednesday.
