The FBI and several law enforcement agencies are seeking the public’s assistance by asking for information leading to the identity of an unknown male bank robber believed to be responsible for seven bank robberies since August 2009 in Southern California . The bandit is described as a Hispanic or bi-racial male between the ages of 16 and 25; 5’5” - 6’0” in height; between 110-155 lbs.; thin build, with black hair and brown eyes.
During the robberies, the Cooler Bandit enters the bank and approaches the teller with a note demanding money. The Cooler Bandit usually leaves on foot, but was once seen in a stolen 1991 white, four-door Toyota Camry.
The suspect is known to law enforcement as the Cooler Bandit due to the fact that he has been seen carrying a nylon-type cooler/lunch bag and water bottle during some of the robberies. The suspect, as can be seen in bank surveillance photographs being released to the media, has alternately worn sunglasses with orange lenses and clear glasses with a black outer rim. Although no weapon has been seen during the robberies, the suspect has threatened to kill victims who do not comply with his demands.
Currently, the Cooler Bandit is highlighted on the FBI’s local bank robbery website as one of two most active bank robbers in the region at: http://www.labankrobbers.org
