An armed robber with a proclivity for the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants struck his sixth bank Wednesday, working at what authorities call a "dramatic" pace and showing dangerous aggression.

The suspect robbed the Hastings TCF Bank branch at Cub Foods, 1729 Marquette Blvd., about 7:10 p.m. He displayed a long-barreled handgun, demanded money and threatened to kill the teller, according to the FBI.

He stashed an undisclosed amount of money in a SpongeBob gift bag and fled on foot.

Authorities believe he is responsible for a string of robberies in the past three months at Cub Foods TCF banks in the St. Paul area.

Well, we had the "fishing hat" bank robber, and now the "Sponge Bob" bank robber. The Twin Cities are nothing if not creative, it seems.

He's absorbing a lot of cash. They'll put the squeeze on him soon.
