'Dapper bandit' robs bank in US's New Mexico

Houston, April 7 : A man wearing makeup robbed a bank in Albuquerque, which lies in the southwestern US state of New Mexico, authorities said. FBI spokesman Frank Fisher said the man, wearing a "very light color foundation" on his face, walked into a Bank of America branch on Wednesday around 4 p.m. local time (2200 GMT), handed over a demand note and threatened to shoot the teller. "No gun was displayed", the man was given the cash and he left the bank on foot, Xinhua news agency reported citing a report from local media outlet Albuquerque Journal who quoted Fisher as calling the suspect a "dapper bandit". The FBI is offering up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the robber, said the report. /IANS
