FBI Charlotte
The FBI says a man dubbed as the “Bad Wig Bandit” robbed three banks in the Charlotte metro area during the past four weeks.
The FBI said in a tweet Friday that a “Bad Wig Bandit” has robbed at least three banks in the Charlotte area.
The suspect is a man between 20 and 30 years old. He allegedly has robbed the banks over the course of the past four weeks — wearing a different wig in each instance, FBI agents said.
