'Michael Moore Bandit' Hits Monroe Bank Man Wanted For Two Robberies In Westland
Authorities in Monroe are searching for a man known as the "Michael Moore bandit."
The man, who police say earned the nickname because of his resemblance to the filmmaker, is wanted in the armed robbery of a Standard Federal Bank at about 9:20 a.m. on Saturday.
Police said the man entered the bank at 602 Monroe Avenue and implied that he had a weapon. An undetermined amount of cash was taken in the robbery.
The man was last seen walking south from the bank.
He's described as white, in his 40s, 6 feet tall, with a beard and wearing a plaid shirt and a baseball cap.
Police said the man is also wanted for two robberies in Westland and for a robbery in Carleton, Mich.
Anyone with information that may lead to an arrest is asked to call the Monroe Police Department at (734) 243-7503.
The Michael Moore Bandit; heaven help the Burger Kings and McDonalds in the area.
What's your alibi?
I've got five of them right now.
They were driving the get-away car....?
Text of the robbery note:
"Give me all your money and get in my belly!"
