'9 to 5 Bandit' Works Late for 6th Robbery

TEMECULA, Calif. - A robber nicknamed the "9 to 5 bandit" was working late when he held up a Wells Fargo bank branch at about 5:30 p.m., the FBI (news - web sites) reported.



The robber shows up at banks wearing a dress shirt and tie, giving the appearance he's dropping by on a free moment from his office. He is believed to have hit a half-dozen banks in Southern California since July 2.


Usually he waits patiently in line for a teller, asks for a deposit slip, then hands over a note that reads, "I have a gun ... I will use it. Give me your hundreds, fifties and twenties," the FBI said.


For Friday's robbery, the bandit wore a blue dress shirt, dark tie and dark dress slacks. This time, however, he displayed a gun in his waistband and threatened to kill the teller and take hostages if she did not comply.


The man is described as about 25 to 38, standing about 6 feet to 6 feet 4 inches tall, with a lean build, light complexion and a goatee. He weighs about 190 to 220 pounds and has green, faded tattoos on his right hand and the right side of his neck.
