'POLITE BANDIT' ROBERT RAYMOND BUSTED

'GOOD MANNERS'
HE CALLED himself the "Polite Bandit" but he'll need a lot more than good manners where he's likely to end up.
Cops say 67-year-old Robert Raymond walked into the First Niagara Bank in Hamden, Conn and handed the teller a note.
"This is what I want you to do," it read, referencing a bank robbery.
It went on to say that he had a controlled bomb which could be activated by a cell phone in his pocket, which he would detonate if the teller activated the alarms.
"Please give me all the money you can," he continued, signed, "the polite bandit."
The teller handed him the cash there was a dye pack in it, which would explode the moment it was opened, covering him in paint.

GEEZER BANDIT STRIKES AGAIN: LOSES DAY PLANNER

HE MIGHT be old, but that hasn't stopped the elderly bank robber dubbed the "geezer bandit" from needing a calender. Quite how the brazen thief, wanted in more than six heists will know which financial institution to rob next is unclear.
But investigators are now forensically examining a day planner that the thief dropped on their last job at a Bank of America in San Luis Obispo, CA.
During the robbery, a teller placed some cash and red dye in a bag, which the suspect placed in his day planner before running off.
Capt. Chris Staley of the San Luis Obispo police told CBS LA: "I think the shock of the dye pack actually exploding in the bag created a diversion enough for him to obviously drop both the money and the other items that he was carrying.

THE WELL DRESSED BANDIT: USA'S MOST DAPPER CROOK

DAPPER AND DANGEROUS
HE'S dapper and dangerous and the FBI are eager to catch the man dubbed the "well dressed bandit" who has held up 10 banks in the last year.
Wearing blazers or well cut suits, he arrives in luxury vehicles he's walked into the San Diego banks, looking like a million bucks and although officers always remain tight lipped on how much they have taken, it's thought he might have taken somewhere near that amount.    
FBI Special Agent Darrell Foxworth said: “We do consider him to be armed and dangerous because in a couple of roberries, he’s displayed a weapon an din other robberies, he’s simulated a weapon and made threatening statements to the teller.
“We want him off the streets sooner than later.”
