The Dreaded Bandit's reign of bank-robbing terror may have finally come to an end. The Chronicle reports that Friday afternoon police arrested the man they believe to be the serial bank robber. He was sporting his trademark dreadlocked wig and fake mustache and approaching a Richmond District bank on the 5400 block of Geary Boulevard at the time of his arrest.

The unnamed suspect was apparently under surveillance, and officials were reportedly watching when he got out of a 2006 Lexus GS 300 driven by a what police are calling a 47-year-old accomplice. According to police, the 59-year-old suspect was wanted for at least four different bank robberies, and was in possession of a loaded revolver when they grabbed him.

The "Dreaded Bandit" earned his nickname as a result of the heavy disguises he wore during his heists. A thick layer of makeup, glasses, and in at least one case a wig with dreadlocks all contributed to the moniker.

Although it is unknown at this point, the arrest might have been made possible by a tip. The FBI doubled the reward for information leading to the man's arrest just last month.
