FBI seeks 'tall, dark, handsome' Texas bank robber

HOUSTON (AP) — A fugitive described by the FBI as being a "tall, dark and handsome bandit" has been accused of holding up two banks this week in Texas.

Bank surveillance photos provided Friday show a suspect, believed to be the same man, with sunglasses atop his head during robberies in Houston and Beaumont.

Investigators say a teller was handed a threatening note Thursday at a Comerica Bank in Houston. Nobody was hurt and the robber escaped with an unknown amount of cash.

A Bank of America in Beaumont was robbed Monday, in which a note was also slipped to a teller. No further details were released on the heist.

The robber is described as a white man, in his 30s, about 6-foot tall, with a medium build and short brown hair.
