The 'bandit' is believed to have robbed three banks in North Carolina in recent weeks.

The 'bad wig bandit' may look silly, but he has expensive taste when it comes to crime.

WSOC reports that the bandit robbed banks in Gastonia, Belmont and Huntersville. His most recent crime was robbing a New Horizon Bank in Belmont on Wednesday, Jan. 8.
