The thieves have hit at least six BMO branches in less than two months – and have prompted a $20,000 reward for information leading to their arrest.
Meanwhile, as CBS 2's Marissa Perlman reported Wednesday night, the financial giant is quietly taking action to keep the bad guys - and customers - out of their banks.
"Masks up to their eyes, gloves on – sometimes light, sometimes dark - even the shoes and socks," said FBI Chicago Special Agent Siobhan Johnson,"you can't see a bit of their bodies – and that's why we said, 'Bundled Bandits.'" FBI investigators believe the suspects shattered the locked door, but fled and didn't enter the bank.
"These individuals will come into a bank once a week or once every two weeks, and while they're doing that, they might jump on counters," Johnson said."They'll bring semiautomatic weapons with extended magazines. They'll demand money, and then they'll flee the scene."
