'Mid-Life Crisis Bandit' strikes again

A man known as the "Mid-Life Crisis Bandit" struck an Oro Valley bank Tuesday, sparking the FBI to seek public assistance to find him.

The Phoenix Division of the FBI asked for the public's help in identifying a man who has robbed three banks across the state since Oct. 28.

The man enters the bank wearing a long sleeve shirt and gloves, and sometimes a wig and fake mustache, a press release said.

He uses a note to demand money and threaten the teller and claims to have a weapon, the release said. The amount of money the man has taken from each of these robberies was not immediately known.

Apparently, the robber has earned his nickname because of his age and appearance.

The man is described as White or Hispanic, in his 40s or 50s, approximately 5 foot 9, approximately 200 to 250 pounds. He also usually wears a dark wig, makeup and a dark fake mustache.

The locations and dates of the robberies are as follows:

November 25, 2008, @ Wells Fargo, 10585 N. Oracle Road, Oro Valley

November 03, 2008, @ Wells Fargo, 1831 E. Hwy 69, Prescott

October 28, 2008, @ Compass Bank, 702 E. Union Hills Dr., Phoenix

Please contact the FBI Phoenix Division at (602) 279-5511, with information about the man's identity and/or information about the bank robberies.
