The FBI is seeking the public's help in catching a serial bank robber dubbed the I-55 Bandit, who is suspected in 10 robberies across five states.
Authorities believe the man has struck banks in Missouri, Illinois, Maryland, West Virginia and now Tennessee, where he is suspected of robbing three banks in the last month. The man also attempted to rob at least two other banks, according to authorities.
"We have seen cases, it's more rare, when the bank robber goes across the country and different states," FBI spokeswoman Rebecca Wu told ABC News.
In each case the man has been caught on surveillance cameras walking into the bank calmly, usually sporting a hat and a pair of dark sunglasses. He then implies that he is armed and slips the teller a note demanding money.
