LITTLETON, Colo. -- The Federal Bureau of Investigation say they've turned into a band of superheroes as they investigate a super villain who dons masks before committing bank robberies.
Officers are on the hunt for a man who has put on two different masks -- those of Darth Vader and the Black Panther -- to rob two separate banks, one in Littleton and the other in Louisville.
Given the name of the "Comicon Bandit" police say the man hit a Bank of the West in Louisville on Dec. 9, and then hit a UMB Bank in Littleton on Dec. 19.
Police are asking for help from the public. They described their suspect as a between 20- to 30-year-old white man with short brown hair. The man is about 5-foot-10 with a thin build.
He may be associated with a black woman in a 2008-2010 Saturn Vue, police said after the first robbery on Dec. 9.
Anybody with information is asked to call police at 720-913-STOP (7867).
