'Bearded Bandit' believed to have robbed bank in RI

The man known to the FBI as the "Bearded Bandit" is believed to have struck again.

Investigators said they believe the man robbed a bank in Barrington, Rhode Island on Thursday.

He's also suspected in four bank robberies in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

FBI Supervisory Special Agent Romel Velasco said that in each robbery the bearded man tells the teller he has a weapon, talks on his cell phone and leaves when he has the money.

A $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest.  Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 617-742-5533 or the police departments located in any of the towns hit by the bandit.
