Since August 2014, Broward County has been hit by a string of bank robberies. In each case, the robber concealed his face, although sometimes only partially. In each case, the bank robber is seen on surveillance footage dark-colored pants and a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt. He was given the name “Filter Bandit” because in some of the robberies, he is seen covering his face with a filter mask – the kind you might see for sale at Home Depot.
