Geezer Bandit Strikes Again, Authorities Probe Costume Shop

The "Geezer Bandit", reported to be an elderly bank robber who is surprisingly light on his feet, may actually be a younger man in a mask. Take a look at the latest security footage of the geezer above, and a mask called "The Elder" by SPFX Masks below. See a resemblance? The Feds do- they're looking into a costume shop in the San Luis Obispo area that sells the mask. This outlaw hero to geriatric criminals everywhere may just be an act, and his 3,000 facebook fans are sure to be disappointed.
