A less-than-professional father and son bank heist team was arrested in Santa Rosa yesterday, shortly after the son walked into the Wells Fargo on Oakmont Drive wearing a mask and carrying a realistic-looking pellet gun. It seems the father, Michael Fuesz, who drove the getaway truck, then let the son, Jason Fuesz, out of the car down the road apace before getting nabbed by coppers on Highway 12. After going all SWAT and K-9 and shit, Sonoma County sheriffs found Jason hiding in some bushes with all the cash still on him. Look for more great and bumbling stories like this one on this season of The Great Recession. more ›

The manhunt is on for this gangsta, who allegedly robbed six Bay Area banks over the course of ten days this month. They say he's between 5' 7" and 5' 10", white, slim, with silver hoop earrings and tattoos on his neck (which, obvi, describes most of the Mission, minus the hoop earrings). He apparently doesn't wear a mask because there's a security camera photo, and he didn't have anything to do with this BofA situation a few weeks ago -- he prefers smaller heists, like a Bank of the West in Vacaville, and a Guaranty Bank in Burlingame. Any info or leads, call the SF FBI office at 415-553-7400. more ›
