The hunt is on for a man who has robbed several banks in the last few weeks, often ending his crime with a nice thought – “Thank you and God bless.”

Wednesday morning, he struck again, pulling off his tenth bank robbery in Las Vegas Valley since September. Police say he’s even robbed one bank twice.

The bandit hit again Wednesday at the Washington Mutual branch on Maryland Parkway and Sahara. Police say he waited in line and fled with money. Metro and the FBI are desperate to catch this repeat robber.

“He’ll wait in line — he’ll wait until he approaches a teller, and he will either present a note or he will tell them that he wants the cash out of the drawer. And on some occasions, he’s even threatened that he may have a weapon,” said Metro Robbery Lt. Clint Nichols.
