FBI Can't Find Christmas Eve Bank Robber
"The FBI is offering up to $10,000 for information on a man suspected of robbing a Taunton bank on Christmas Eve while armed with an assault rifle, officials said. The “Christmas Eve Bandit” entered First Citizens Federal Credit Union at 280 Winthrop St. on Dec. 24, the FBI said Monday in a statement. He is considered “armed and dangerous,” the FBI said. The man entered the bank, said “Merry Christmas” followed by an expletive, and then ordered tellers to empty their cash drawers into a duffle bag. When a bank employee near the drive-through window moved, the man fired a round into the wall near the employee."
