$10,000 Reward Offered For The “Granddad Bandit”

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:
