The “Limping Latex Bandit” was covered in red this afternoon after a dye pack exploded from his sack of stolen cash following bank robbery in Aurora.
After a holdup at the Colorado State Bank in the 15400 block of East Hampden Avenue at about 2 p.m., witnesses saw the man get into a small silver sport-utility vehicle, possibly a Toyota Rav4 with a hard-cover spare tire mounted on the rear.
A witness then saw the red dye pack explode, before the SUV sped away.
The robbery was thought to be the seventh in the metro area by the man the FBI dubbed the “Limping Latex Bandit” because he had a limp and wore latex gloves during his first robbery last November.
He is described as white, between 40 and 50 years old, about 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing between 170 and 200 pounds.
Anyone with information can call the FBI at 303-629-7171, the Aurora Police Department at 303- 627-3100 or Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.
A $2,000 reward is being offered.
