"Granddad bandit" suspected in over a dozen bank robberies -- USA

A man dubbed the "Granddad Bandit," suspected in more than a dozen robberies, struck again this week, the FBI said Friday.



The latest incident was Wednesday in Huntsville, Alabama, the FBI said in a release. It offered no further details.

Authorities suspect the Granddad Bandit in 18 other robberies in a dozen states. The FBI said last year that he is a white male, believed to be 50 to 60 years old. He is about 6 feet tall and weighs between 210 and 230 pounds.

On Friday, the FBI said that he may be driving a black four-door Ford F150 or F250 pickup with an Alabama license plate.

"Typically, the man enters the victim bank, approaches the teller counter and hands the teller a note demanding money. During some of the robberies, he has threatened to have a weapon," the bureau said.

Authorities are using electronic billboards in 10 states to try to catch the bandit. The FBI said the billboards -- there are about 75 of them -- will be updated to include a photograph of the vehicle.

Anarchists solidarity protest outside Korydallos prison, the main prison in Athens, at the time of the change of the year. This protest happens every New Year's Eve for the past six years. This year more than 400 people took part in the protest that interacted with the prisoners inside through shouting mutual slogans and fireworks. The main slogan was "The passion for freedom is stronger that your prisons".

FIRE TO ALL PRISONS

A society that punishes/the condition of incarceration/the prison of the mind/the prison as punishment/the rage of the damned will sound on the ruins of prisons/those denying obedience and misery of our era even within its hellholes/will dance together on the ruins of every last prison/with the flame of rebellion avenging whatever creates prisons.

To the prisoners struggle already counting one dead and thousands in hunger strike across greece, we stand in solidarity and anger until the destruction of every last prison.
