Has Anyone Else Noticed That The Buckshot Bandits Are Laying Low?

I have to admit I am a bit of a bank robbery buff, especially when they are happening right in my own back yard.  Earlier this year a bank robbery team nicknamed “The Buckshot Bandits” by the FBI was on quite a spree here in the Valley. From the Daily News:

Right now at the top of the list among robbers who have held up San Fernando Valley banks are the Buckshot Bandits. According to May, they have robbed five area banks from May1 through July10, each time using a fake explosive device that alarms bank officials and customers as they take over the financial institution and rob it.

“They’re still out there, unfortunately,” May said. “In the robberies, there have been different Hispanic males that go inside the bank. It’s not been the same two through all five robberies. There’s a crew, and they’re mixing it up.”

They’ve been very quiet since their July 10th Robberies of the Citibank here in Woodland Hills and US Bank in Encino.  The holidays are coming, I’m wondering if we’ll be seeing more of them soon.  Here are some pictures of the crew from one of the recent robberies.
