SAN DIEGO — FBI officials say an elderly, thin, gray-haired man nicknamed the “Geezer Bandit” is responsible for holding up five San Diego-area banks since summer.

Investigators say the man appears to be in his 70s. Officials say that in the most recent robbery Monday, he approached a Bank of America teller in La Jolla, displayed a handgun and asked for cash. He fled on foot.

FBI spokesman Darrell Foxworth says investigators believe the man is also responsible for robbing four other San Diego County banks since August 28.

Law enforcement officials are offering $16,000 in rewards for information that leads to his arrest and conviction. (Source)

This is honestly hilarious.  All we need now is Catherine Zeta Jones and we have all we need for a sequel to Entrapment.  On Morning Joy they reported that he had a oxygen tank.  AN OXYGEN TANK?  And he “fled on foot”??? How?  Who was chasing after him?  People in their 80’s with prosthetic limbs?  Or maybe the foot pursuit was led by Cotton Hill.  Either way, this is hilarious.  I wonder what the FBI will do when they catch him?  Even better, what if they don’t catch him?  Then what?  How embarrassing would that be?  The FBI says they can protect us from terrorists but can’t catch a 70 year old man with an oxygen tank who has knocked over 5 banks already.  Guess the recession is hitting the elderly harder than we thought.
