The FBI is looking for a serial bank robber who's been targeting southeast New Mexico.
The robber has been labeled "The Bayou Bandit" after hitting up 11 banks since last March. Four of these banks were in Louisiana, three were in Oklahoma, one in Arkansas, another in Mississippi, and then two were in Carlsbad, NM. The robber struck Pioneer and Western Commerce Bank on August 5th. Police say the man walks into a bank, hands the teller a note, and then takes the money.
The FBI is offering a $20,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to his arrest. If anyone knows where the man may be hiding, they should call the FBI.
