A bank robbery suspect, wanted for two heists over the Thanksgiving holiday, has been nicknamed the “Chit Chat Bandit” by FBI agents.
The man was captured by bank surveillance cameras at his first target – the Wells Fargo Bank on Girard Avenue in La Jolla, California on Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2014.
Two days later on the Friday after Thanksgiving, the same man was captured on camera at the Wells Fargo Bank inside the Vons store on Camino Canada in El Cajon.
Investigators say the suspect likes to make it look like he’s chatting up the tellers as he’s robbing them.
In El Cajon, the bandit demanded money from two tellers and then left the bank with the money using a small green BMX-style bike, agents said.
No one has been injured in the robberies.
