FBI

The FBI has released these surveillance photos of the “Weatherman Bandit,” a man in his 50s or 60s who is suspected in eight bank robberies across the valley.

The FBI is seeking the public’s help in identifying the “Weatherman Bandit,” a man suspected in eight valley-area bank robberies.

The FBI describes him as a 50- to 60-year-old white male with gray hair. He stands between 5-feet-8 and 6-feet and weighs around 180 to 200 pounds.

The man is suspected in a string of eight bank robberies in Henderson and Las Vegas dating to October 2010, according to the FBI. He is most recently suspected of robbing a Chase Bank in Anthem in Henderson.

The man earned the nickname the “Weatherman Bandit” because he always comments on the weather to the teller during the robberies, the FBI said. The man has never shown a weapon during the robberies.

Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call the FBI Las Vegas field office at 702-385-1281. To submit a tip online, visit www.LasVegasBankRobbers.com.
