Police have arrested a man they say is responsible for a string of bank robberies in Maryland. Authorities had dubbed the suspect the "old man bandit" — and the man they say is responsible has a 45-year history of robbing banks.
Steven Gregory Gass, 67, has been charged with several bank robberies, Montgomery County Police said Friday. The Frederick, Maryland man is accused of attempting to rob a Wells Fargo on July 14 and a Truist Bank on June 18, along with a bank in Baltimore County.
Gass has a long history of bank robbery. He pleaded guilty in 2010 to robbing 19 banks in Florida, and police said one of the first banks Gass robbed was in Montgomery County in 1977.
