The FBI thinks he's hit, at least, nine banks in seven states since April and now is asking for help from the public to identify a man who they believe is a serial bank robber dubbed the "Granddad Bandit". Special Agent-in-charge, Gregory Jones, of the FBI Atlanta bureau says his robberies are described as calm and quiet, a deliberate attempt not to attract attention. He presents a demand note to a teller and leaves without disruption to the normal banking business and customers around him. Here's the description from the FBI:

Hgt: 6’0” – 6’4”
Wgt: 220-250 lbs.

There is now a $10,000 reward being offered by law enforcement in this matter.
Anyone with information should call the Atlanta FBI at tel. (404) 679-9000.
