SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., Dec. 24 (UPI) -- Police say they have arrested eight people believed to be the alleged "Bedtime Bandits" suspected in 19 Southern California bank robberies.
The FBI dubbed the team the "Bedtime Bandits" because they used pillowcases with cartoon characters on them to carry out their cash, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
