Investigators say Jeremy Evans of Carol Stream, Illinois robbed banks from California to Virginia, including three banks in the Quad Cities. The FBI dubbed the serial robber the “Ray Bandit” because of the style of sunglasses he was seen wearing in surveillance video of the crimes.
They believe he robbed bank branches in two Quad City Hyvee stores and the American Bank and Trust in Milan.
Formal charges are pending in several states.
