The Make It Quick bandit robbed a U.S. Bank branch in San Pedro — for the fourth time.
This is the man's 12th South Bay bank robbery since 2009. It happened on Sept. 20, an FBI spokesman confirms to KPCC, with Gardena police announcing the connection Tuesday, NBC4 reports.
The last time the Make It Quick bandit robbed the bank was in May. All of his heists have been at U.S. Bank branches inside grocery stores.
