The Federal Bureau of Investigation has announced that a $20,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of an elderly-looking male who may be responsible for robbing 15 banks in Southern California since August 2009 – including a heist in the Midway District. The suspect, dubbed the “Geezer Bandit,” is described as a 5-foot-10-inch to 6-foot-tall white male, possibly 60 to 70 years old, weighing between 190 to 200 pounds. Witnesses have described his clothing items as including a navy blue-colored blazer, navy or black baseball cap and dark pants. He may also be wearing a mask or rubber gloves as a disguise and is known to carry a revolver pistol in his left hand. The “Geezer Bandit’s” most recent suspected robbery took place at the Wells Fargo Bank inside the Von’s grocery store in La Jolla on Sept. 30. FBI and local law enforcement also believe he robbed the San Diego National Bank, located at 1075 Rosecrans St., in January 2010. Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the FBI at (858) 565-1255.
