'White Glove Bandit' nabbed near Tompkins Square Park

Investigators from the FBI and NYPD arrested the so-called "White Glove Bandit" earlier today "as he walked into a bodega near Tompkins Square Park around 12:30 p.m.," the Daily News reported.

Law enforcement officials said that 42-year-old Michael McManus robbed four banks since January, including (allegedly!) the HSBC branch on Broadway and East Ninth Street yesterday.

Here's some video of him from the FBI (Hi Mulder! Hi Scully!) website... of the suspect robbing the Citibank on LaGuardia Place...



DNAinfo noted that McManus "has been arrested 50 to 60 times since 1992 for crimes ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, including robbery."
