Mask may hide age and gender of 'Geezer Bandit' →
The Geezer Bandit has robbed 16 banks in California over the past two years with the FBI assuming the suspect is a 60-70 year old man. Footage showing him fleeing the robberies at top speed has led authorities to believe the suspect is possibly wearing a life-like “elderly” mask: concealing his age and possibly gender.
