FBI Catches “Back Again Bandit”/23 bank robberies in 10 months

(Thanks to AP) FBI officials say they arrested a man dubbed the “Back Again Bandit” who allegedly robbed 22-banks in Arizona and one in Nevada over a 10-month span. They say an FBI Violent Crimes Task Force with assistance from Phoenix police took 44-year old Richard Zumbro into custody Monday after a robbery at a U.S. Bank in Mesa. Officials say the string of robberies began in December 2020 and almost all of them were at banks or credit unions that were inside supermarkets. Zumbro got his nickname because he allegedly robbed the same two banks in Phoenix and Tempe a total of 5-times. Authorities didn’t disclose how much money was taken in the robberies.
