Sgt. Ramos said, "When he came in, he acted more like a take-over style bank robbery. He was controlling directing people where to go, what he wanted, he was cursing."
An F.B.I. agent told Action News bank robberies in the Valley have spiked in the last month or so. Investigators and bankers can only speculate that the weak economy is driving people to do things they wouldn't normally do. Templeton said, "People are desperate, they're losing their jobs and business and every segment being down."
Bank employees describe the repeat robber to be between 5 feet 7 and five feet 9 inches tall with a thin build. Tattoos cover both arms, and there's body art on the front and back of both legs.
But who is he? Sgt. Dave Ramos hopes someone will recognize him before anyone gets hurt. "Our concern is that his violence may continue and escalate and we want to get him in custody before that happens."
