FBI: “Sock Bandit” still at large

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) — The FBI says it is still offering a $5,000 reward, for information leading to the arrest of the “Sock Bandit”, who has so far robbed 9 banks.

In each instance, FBI officials say the suspect has presented a note demanding cash from the teller, and claimed to have a gun. Described as a white, clean-shaven 35-45 male of average height and weight, FBI says the suspect has worn a sock hat during each bank robbery and glasses during most.

Though no one has been hurt during the robberies, authorities say the man should be considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information should contact the Tri-state Crime Stoppers tip line at (513)352-3040
