The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is currently in pursuit of a bank robber in Houston, Texas, who has been given the moniker of the "Sticky Note Bandit."
This individual has successfully targeted three banks since July 5, employing a unique method of communication by sliding menacing notes, written on sticky notes, to the tellers.
During each of these robberies, the suspect has disguised himself as a woman, donning a black wig, a green woman's sweater, ballet flats, and carrying a purse. The robber has displayed remarkable patience, waiting in line before demanding cash from the tellers.
In response to these crimes, the FBI Violent Crime Task Force has announced a reward of $5,000 for any information that leads to the identification and subsequent arrest of the suspect. The individual in question is described as a black male, approximately 5'8" in height. In addition to his disguise, he has been observed wearing thick glasses and a blue surgical mask.
During the initial robbery at Hancock Whitney Bank, the suspect managed to escape on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. In the second incident, which took place on July 11 at Wells Fargo, the teller took evasive action by locking themselves inside a bank vault after receiving a sticky note from the suspect. The bandit then lingered in the bank's lobby for a few minutes before ultimately leaving empty-handed.
During the most recent robbery on July 13, which also occurred at a Wells Fargo branch, the suspect once again fled on foot after successfully stealing an undisclosed sum of money.
Fortunately, no one was injured during any of these incidents, according to the FBI. The contents of the sticky notes used by the suspect have not been disclosed to the public at this time.
