Graybeard robs Houston bank, escapes on his bicycle
The Chronicle reports that an old guy on a bike knocked over a bank yesterday:
The FBI Bank Robbery Task Force is seeking assistance in identifying a man who escaped on a bicycle after robbing the Wachovia Bank on West 20th St. Tuesday afternoon.
The man rode up to the bank on the bike shortly before 3:30 p.m. Tuesday. Once inside, he approached the teller, demanded money and said he had a bomb. The robber then gave the teller a note demanding money.
The teller complied and the robber escaped on his bicycle. No one was injured during the robbery.
The robber is described as a white male, 50-55 years of age, approximately 5'8" tall, 170-200 pounds. He had long gray hair pulled back in a pony tail and a gray beard.
They included race in a crime description? Oh my. Can't that lead to the sort of racial scorekeeping that the Chronicle tries to avoid?
KPRC-2 posts a video surveillance shot of the robber. First thought: Why is ZZ Top's Dusty Hill robbing banks on his bike?
