The FBI released Wednesday video of an armed bank robber dubbed the “skateboard bandit.”

Clad in black, wearing a paisley bandanna and carrying a skateboard, the suspect is wanted in connection with two hold-ups in the San Diego area.

According to the FBI, he is responsible for robbing a Wells Fargo Bank on July 23 and the Comerica Bank on July 12.

In the Comerica Bank heist, the skateboard bandit “approached a teller and made a verbal demand for money,” the FBI said. “The robber pulled up his shirt and displayed the handle of semi-automatic pistol. The robber demanded that the teller place the money into a black backpack the robber was carrying.”

The skateboard bandit is described as a white man, believed to be in his late 20s or early 30s. He is between 5’9”-5’11”, and weighs about 160 lbs.

The skateboard he travels with is dark colored with two flips at one end, the FBI said.
