Wanted (but not for crimes against fashion): FBI hunting 'well-dressed thief' who holds-up banks at gunpoint in suits, ties and even a dapper hat
Federal officers are now on the lookout for a 'well-dressed' bank robber who holds up banks in suits and ties after a string of armed heists.
The FBI is searching for the stylish thief, who has robbed at least four banks in Pennsylvania within the last year.
In each robbery, the man has worn a suit and tie, latex gloves, and either a ski mask or a pillowcase to cover his face.

The man’s last robbery is believed to be a PNC Bank in Upper Dublin on March 30th.
The man, who is believed to be between 5ft10 and 6ft2, is seen on security video holding up tellers at gunpoint.
The FBI said in a press release today that they think the man is responsible for three other robberies as well, which include a robbery of a Colonial American Bank on June 8, 2012 in Horsham, Pennsylvania, as well as the First Federal Bank in Wrightstown, and a Wells Fargo branch in Yardley.
Each time, the robber displayed a black semi-automatic handgun. In the latest robbery in March, he yelled for everyone in the bank to get on the floor, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Laundry day? Though he's wearing a grey hoodie in the January 19 robbery of a Wells Fargo Bank in Yardley, Pennsylvania, the FBI believes it to be the same man, based on the use of green latex gloves
They added they believe the man to be white with a stocky build, and think he could have blue eyes, adding he should be considered armed and dangerous.
An FBI spokesperson told the paper that though the man was pictured at the Wells Fargo robbery wearing a hoodie rather than a suit, the latex gloves matched those of the well-dressed thief.Tips may be made anonymously to the FBI at 215-641-8910.
