The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The FBI is asking for the public's help in finding a bank robber investigators have dubbed the "Granddad Bandit."
Election Day 2009
The man, who is believed to be between 50 and 60 years old, is wanted for a string of holdups in at least seven states, including Georgia, dating back to April.
Included in the list of robberies are an April 29 heist at the SunTrust branch in the 300 block of Peachtree Street and the Oct. 2 robbery of the SunTrust branch in the 1500 block of Peachtree. Other robberies attributed to the man were in Virginia, Arkansas, Alabama, New York, Florida and Texas.
"His robberies are described as being calm, with a deliberate attempt not to attract attention to himself," said FBI spokesman Stephen Emmett.
"The robber quietly presents a demand note to the victim teller and thereafter departs the bank without disruption to normal banking business going on around him," Emmett said.
Emmett described the robber as white, 6 feet to 6 feet, 4 inches tall, weighing 22o to 250 pounds with a stocky build. He is bald, with short gray hair on the side, and wears prescription glasses, Emmett said.
He said there is a $10,000 reward in the case. Anyone with information can call 404-679-9000.
