| Lake Forest Bank Latest Target of "Blue Note Bandit" |
The still-as-yet-apprehended bank robber, whose use of a blue note during his first known heist earned him the nickname “The Blue Note Bandit", is suspected of having committed a recent robbery at a Wells Fargo bank in Lake Forest. According to authorities, if this is in fact the work of the same man, it brings his total bank robbery count to 9. His robberies are believed to have targeted banks throughout Orange County, including the cities of Costa Mesa, Tustin, Irvine and Laguna Hills.
Consistent with his modus operandi, the man is said to have handed a note to the teller during the latest robbery. This time, however, he also informed the teller he had a gun, though, no weapon was brandished.
A reward has been offered by the bank for information leading to his arrest. |
