The suspect in question is thought to be behind two bank robberies in the OC yesterday, the first a failed attempt at a U.S. Bank branch in Huntington Beach, followed by a successful robbery at a Bank of America branch in Irvine.
From the FBI:
During both robberies the robber presented a demand note and made an oral demand for cash. The bandit was described as an Asian male, possibly of Filipino descent or biracial; with a dark complexion, 5’4” tall, 145 lbs., thin build, 45 to 60 years in age, with decaying teeth.
Authorities say the Stare Down Bandit is also wanted for other robberies.
