OC's 'Ho-Hum Bandit' Robs Bank Outside Denver

DENVER (CBS/AP) — A bank robber believed to have robbed several banks in Orange County and Los Angeles may be behind a heist that happened just outside Denver, according to the FBI.

Authorities have dubbed him the "Ho-Hum Bandit" because of his bland appearance.

The FBI says a man fitting his description held up a Chase Bank in Edgewater, just outside Denver, on Wednesday.

He's described as a white male in his early 30s. He's five-foot-five and weighs about 150 pounds.

The FBI says the "Ho-Hum Bandit" has robbed banks in San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County, Seattle and Cheyenne, Wyo.
