FBI seeking fake beard bandit in bank robbery probe

MESA, Ariz., May 6 (UPI) -- The FBI is searching for an Arizona bank robbery suspect seen in security camera footage wearing what appears to be a very unconvincing fake beard.

The video, released this week, shows the suspect wearing a baseball cap and an apparent fake beard that doesn't come close to matching the color of his gray hair.

The FBI said the man threatened to spray a teller at the Wells Fargo Bank in Mesa with acid if she didn't hand over any cash.

The teller hid below the counter to avoid any attack and the suspect fled. It was unclear whether he managed to take any money from the bank in the Jan. 27 incident.
