The FBI is seeking help from the public to catch the appropriately nicknamed "bad wig bandit" who is blamed for a series of bank robberies in North Carolina.
The individual is identified as male in the FBI statement last Thursday, which says the suspect sported a different bedraggled wig during for each heist committed in the area of Charlotte, NC.
One wig was blonde. Another was black. The third was red.
The FBI said he robbed a BB&T in Huntersville on Dec. 13. He then robbed two banks on Jan. 7. The first was a New Horizon Bank in Belmont. The second was a Wells Fargo in Gastonia.
