Man suspected in 3 St. Louis robberies

ST. LOUIS (AP) - A man the FBI believes is responsible for at least three bank robberies this month in St. Louis has turned himself in after seeing his photo broadcast on the news.

Federal investigators have dubbed him the "Scarf-Face Bandit" because he has been shown in surveillance photos with a scarf over part of his face.

The latest robbery was Thursday afternoon at a U.S. Bank branch in south St. Louis. The suspect approached a teller and handed a demand note. He was given an undisclosed amount of money. No one was hurt.

The same man is suspected of two other robberies, both at the same bank at Commerce Bank branch in south St. Louis. The same bank was robbed on Jan. 12 and Jan. 16.

His name has not been released.
