Police in Phoenix looking for '$60 Bill Bandit'

[January 07, 2011]  GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) -- Police in the Phoenix area are looking for a bank robbery suspect they've dubbed the "$60 Bill Bandit" because he once asked a teller for $40 and $60 bills -- denominations that aren't printed.

KTVK-TV reports the robber is wanted in connection with four bank robberies in four cities since October.

The most recent holdup was Dec. 23 when the suspect walked into a Gilbert Bank of America and handed the teller a note saying he was armed and wanted money. The teller gave him an unknown amount of cash.

Police say the nickname comes from the robber earlier asking a teller for all the $20s, $40s and $60s.
