Marat G. Mikhaylich The FBI is looking for Marat G. Mikhaylich, nicknamed the "Holiday Bandit," after he robbed his sixth New York bank yesterday. He held up the Capital One bank at 4612 14th Avenue in Brooklyn yesterday morning, demanding cash from two tellers before fleeing on foot. However, we were gravely disappointed to find that he seems to have got his nickname by robbing banks vaguely around the holiday season. Couldn't he have dressed like Santa or even a festive Darth Vader like a normal robber?
Mikhaylich robbed his first city bank on December 9th, hitting a Sovereign Bank in Astoria, and so far he's stayed in Brooklyn and Queens, once venturing to Staten Island. Assistant Special Agent in Charge Michael Rourke said, "We are imploring the public to be vigilant, on the lookout, and call our tip line if they know anything that can help us stop this increasingly aggressive criminal activity." Mikhaylich is described as a white male, 6'5'' tall and around 35 years old. We're at least hoping that he brings flowers if he decides to do a Valentine's Day robbery. (Just kidding! We hope they catch him.)
