Police: 'Michael Moore Bandit' Hits Monroe Bank

Man Wanted For Two Robberies In Westland

POSTED: 1:35 pm EST March 22, 2005

Authorities in Monroe are searching for a man known as the "Michael Moore bandit."

The man, who police say earned the nickname because of his resemblance to the filmmaker, is wanted in the armed robbery of a Standard Federal Bank at about 9:20 a.m. on Saturday.

Police said the man entered the bank at 602 Monroe Avenue and implied that he had a weapon. An undetermined amount of cash was taken in the robbery.

The man was last seen walking south from the bank.

He's described as white, in his 40s, 6 feet tall, with a beard and wearing a plaid shirt and a baseball cap.

Police said the man is also wanted for two robberies in Westland and for a robbery in Carleton, Mich.

Anyone with information that may lead to an arrest is asked to call the Monroe Police Department at (734) 243-7503.
