The FBI also asked for the public's help in finding a man who attempted and failed to rob three banks in a row in Buena Park on March 22 and finally got cash at a fourth bank, thus the nickname. Though he escaped, his images were caught on video.
Anyone with more information as to the name or whereabouts of the "Quad Bandit" was asked to call the FBI's 24-hour line (310) 477-6565.
