FBI seeks ‘Sticky Note Bandit’ for 3 Texas bank heists.

In Pursuit of⁤ the⁤ Elusive “Sticky Note​ Bandit”

In a⁢ peculiar string of ‌bank robberies, the FBI is ‍currently ⁢hot on the trail of an⁢ elusive⁤ cross-dressing criminal, aptly⁣ dubbed the “Sticky Note Bandit.”

Operating ⁤in ⁣Houston, Texas, this⁢ audacious suspect has made headlines after robbing at least three banks ⁤since July 5,‌ using an unconventional and rather menacing‍ method involving sticky notes.

According to ​a report from the⁤ New ​York Post, the daring robber always enters the bank disguised ⁤as a woman, sporting a black ‌wig, a green woman’s sweater, ballet flats, and ⁣to ​complete the ensemble, ​he carries a ​purse.

Make a note⁣ of this: #FBI Houston’s Violent ⁣Crime Task Force ‍is seeking ⁣the ​”Sticky Note Bandit” who has committed three robberies in the⁢ Houston area ⁣during‌ the ⁢last ten ⁣days.

But it’s not the⁢ attire ⁤that sets him apart;⁣ it’s⁢ the way he calmly⁤ waits ‍in⁢ line like‌ any other⁣ customer before⁤ allegedly sliding the tellers threatening messages written on sticky notes, ‌demanding a​ quick payout.

It is notable ⁣that both ⁤the FBI and the media have consistently referred​ to ​this man as⁢ a “crossdresser” ⁤rather than as transgender.

While it’s unclear whether ⁣or not⁢ the ⁣suspect is in fact transgender, given ​the clothing ensemble and wig, one⁢ could‌ easily​ assume that⁤ he is.

A ‌$5,000 ⁢Reward⁢ for⁤ Information

The FBI Violent‌ Crime Task⁢ Force‌ is ​offering an​ enticing $5,000 reward‌ to anyone who can provide crucial⁢ information ⁤that leads⁤ to the ​identification ⁣and arrest ​of this⁣ audacious culprit.

Described as a ⁢black male approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, the⁢ suspect ⁢also ⁤adorns⁢ a thick ‌pair ‌of glasses​ and ⁢a blue surgical ⁤mask to ​enhance his disguise.

During‍ the first⁤ bank robbery⁣ at Hancock Whitney Bank ​on July 5, the⁢ audacious bandit ‍successfully fled‍ on ​foot with an‍ undisclosed sum‍ of cash, leaving ​bank staff and customers in disbelief.

Unfazed⁢ by​ the risk, he⁢ allegedly struck ​again at⁤ a Wells Fargo Bank on‍ July 11, presenting ⁣the teller with yet ⁢another sticky note ‌demanding money.

This time,​ however,‍ the⁤ quick-thinking bank teller took evasive‍ action, locking themselves in⁢ the ⁣back ‌room⁣ for ⁣safety. With ⁢no cash ⁤in hand, ⁢the robber‌ lingered‌ in the bank ⁤lobby ⁣for⁢ a⁣ few minutes ‌before making ⁤a hasty getaway.

Despite the setback, the brazen bandit ‌tried their ⁣luck again⁤ at another‍ Wells Fargo Bank on Thursday. This time, the robber managed ⁣to escape on foot with an undisclosed amount of money,‍ slipping ‌away into ⁢the crowded streets of Houston.

Thankfully, none of ​the bank employees or customers were physically harmed ⁤during ⁢any ​of these incidents.

However, the audaciousness of the robber ⁣and ​his⁣ unusual​ choice of disguises has baffled law enforcement.

As⁣ news of the “Sticky‌ Note Bandit” spreads, ​the FBI ‍and⁢ local‍ authorities ‍are urging ​citizens ⁣to ​come forward‌ with any ⁤information that might lead to his ​capture.

In light of​ the robberies, banks⁤ and⁣ businesses⁢ in the area are on⁣ high alert, taking extra‍ precautions⁤ to protect their employees ⁢and assets. Customers are advised⁣ to remain vigilant and‍ report any suspicious⁣ activity ‌they ‍might encounter.

As ⁢the investigation ⁤unfolds, ⁤more ⁢details ​about the contents of​ the sticky notes and the‍ robber’s motives have not​ been released to the ⁣public.

With the “Sticky Note Bandit”‌ still‍ at large, the stakes are high, and​ Houston residents⁤ remain on edge, hoping for⁤ a swift resolution to ⁤this bizarre and daring ⁢crime⁣ spree.
