Help Catch "The Leprechaun Bandit" Before He Robs A 6th Bank
A bank robber nicknamed “The Leprechaun Bandit” has been sticking up banks in Texas and the Fort Worth police are desperate to identify him. We’re not a crime blog or anything but “Leprechaun Bandit,” was too catchy to resist. Plus he’s robbed 5 banks and that’s not cool with us. After the 3rd bank you know it’s affecting the customer service. Anyone who wears a Notre Dame hat is likely to get tackled by an overzealous guard. From the Star-Telegram:
Lt. Dean Sullivan, police spokesman, said the freckled bank robber with reddish-brown hair earned his nickname because of the “Luck of the Irish” green and white baseball cap that he sometimes wears featuring a shamrock and leprechaun.
In the latest robbery, police say the man walked into the OmniAmerican Bank at 1000 Pennsylvania Ave. about 11:45 a.m., handed the teller a note demanding money and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.
…
Eventually his luck will run out,” Sullivan said.
If you know the “Leprechaun Bandit,” call the Fort Worth robbery unit at 817-392-4370 or Crime Stoppers at 817-469-TIPS (817-469-8477). Don’t worry too hard about it though, your money is FDIC insured against Leprechaun related crime. —MEGHANN MARCO
