Ho-Hum Bandit May Be Robbing Colorado Banks

After a five-month bank robbery spree, the "Ho-Hum Bandit" seemed to just disappear from Southern California. It now appears as though the bandit may have moved on to a new market.

Investigators said a serial bank robber who is wanted in Colorado matches the description of Ho-Hum Bandit, who hit up 12 banks, including the Citibank in La Jolla, from late February through July.

In Colorado, the robber was given a different moniker—the "JV Bandit Gone Bad," according to FBI Special Agent Chris Gicking. The JV Bandit is wanted for eight robberies in Boulder, Denver and Fort Collins.

"Just like here, he's going every two or three weeks," Gicking said.

The bandit is described as a white male in his 30s. He is approximately 5 foot 9 and 160 to 170 pounds. The FBI said he is fair-skinned and usually wears some type of hat, faded jeans and white sneakers.
