US: 'Sticky Note Bandit' attempts fourth bank robbery in two weeks as helpless FBI seeks public help
The infamous "Sticky Note Bandit"
A Black man in the US who excels in disguising himself as a womanand carrying out loot at banks has turned out to be a massive headache for the FBI Violent Crime Task Force. He has so far attempted his fourth heist in less than two weeks, and a helpless FBI has now resorted to taking the matter to the public.
The media has dubbed Houston's notorious bank robber as the 'Sticky Note Bandit' because of his signature approach – he hands threatening notes to bank tellers, demanding cash. This unconventional method has garnered him quite a reputation among law enforcement and earned him the infamous nickname.
Four heist attempts in two weeks
The crime spree began on July 5 when the suspect targeted a Hancock Whitney bank and made off with an undisclosed sum of money. From there, he struck a Wells Fargo branch in east Houston, but his attempt was foiled when the quick-thinking teller locked himself up in the back room, leaving the bandit empty-handed.
However, the third robbery, which occurred at a Wells Fargo bank in southwest Houston, proved successful for the criminal, netting him an unknown amount of cash.
The fourth attempt came Tuesday morning at 11:45 AM at the Bank of America, located at 4301 San Felipe Street.
