AURORA —A man who investigators nicknamed the “Band-Aid Bandit” has been sentenced to 520 years in prison for a string of robberies in Aurora.
Richard Charles MacNeil, 47, received the lengthy sentence last week. He was convicted in October of nine counts of aggravated robbery with a real or simulated deadly weapon, one count of attempted aggravated robbery with a real or simulated deadly weapon, one count of robbery, nine counts of menacing, eight counts of theft and one count of attempted theft.
Investigators say he put a bandage on his face or over tattoos on his hand to conceal his identity. He was accused of robbing several businesses and banks in Aurora from October 2009 through February 2010.
