美国佛州警方逮捕一名连续犯案的银行抢匪，其外型看似年迈老人，“脸皮一扒”才露出真面目，竟是戴着仿真面具的40岁前科犯。
佛州中区联邦检察官办公室上周公布资料显示，40岁嫌犯萨丁（David Sartin, Jr.）今年在佛州抢劫2家银行时，都戴着老人面具靠近柜台要求交出钱财，还叮嘱行员不准放入“染料包”（Dye Packs），也就是欧美银行用于应对劫案的无线电控制安全装置。
今年8月24日，萨丁驾车到拉戈市（Largo）一间加油站，再换骑自行车靠近银行。他得手2900美元后对行员预告“后会有期”，接着骑自行车返回车上，再急速驶离。
9月15日，萨丁在家乡佛州圣彼得堡（St. Petersburg）另一家银行抢走2554美元，不久后落网。

警方在其住处查获一辆自行车、深蓝色西装、黑色提包，都与他在第一起抢案中使用的物品高度相似。储藏室搜出的背包内藏老人矽胶面具、深色镜框眼镜、沾有黑色油漆的工作手套、一把仿制手枪等。
萨丁另一个住处搜出日记，封面写着“上帝最好的朋友是银行抢匪”等不明字句，以及一个人高举面具的诡异画作。
事实上，萨丁今年犯下2起银行抢案时，正处于假释监管期间。2016年他在德州戴着老人面具犯下5起银行抢案，2018年被判逾10年联邦有期徒刑。2008年，他与同伙身穿万圣节服装犯案，留下企图抢劫银行罪的前科。
Serial Bank R%bber Who Served 10 Years In Prison For R%bbing Banks In ‘Old Man’ Masks Arrested Again For Same Crime a Decade Later A Florida man who spent more than a decade in prison for r%bbing banks while disguised as an elderly person has been arrested over allegations that he returned to the same crime with a similar mask years later. David Sartin Jr., 40, from St. Petersburg, was arrested by federal authorities over two alleged bank robberies in Florida, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida. Sartin allegedly r%bbed a bank in Largo on August 24 and another in his hometown on September 15. During both incidents, he reportedly wore a prosthetic old-man mask and demanded cash without dye packs. Investigators alleged that before the first r%bbery, Sartin drove around a nearby area, parked his vehicle, switched to a bicycle and rode to the bank. After collecting $2,900, he reportedly told the teller, “until we meet again,” before escaping on the bicycle and later driving away. He allegedly st%le another $2,554 during the second robbery. Surveillance footage reportedly showed a vehicle leaving Sartin’s home before the second incident and returning afterward. A man resembling the suspect was also allegedly captured unloading a bicycle. Investigators later observed Sartin spray-painting the vehicle’s white roof black. Searches of his home and storage unit reportedly uncovered a bicycle, clothing, bags, a fake handg¥n, gloves and disguise materials, including a grey-haired old-man mask and dark-framed glasses allegedly linked to the r%bberies. At another property where he occasionally stayed, authorities reportedly discovered another prosthetic mask and a 2021 journal titled, “God’s Best friend is a Bank R%bber! Uncle Henry Cops and Robbers the world through the eyes of a Bank R%bber.” Authorities said he had worn a similar elderly-person disguise during those robberies and used the same getaway vehicle. He was sentenced to slightly more than 10 years in federal prison.
