The robber known as the “FedEx bandit” has been arrested, ending a two-year spree that included more than 40 bank robberies, authorities said Tuesday.
A bank surveillance photo released by police shows the “FedEx bandit.”
The 40-year-old man was arrested Monday while trying to cross the Mexican border at San Ysidro with a counterfeit ID card, authorities said.
They initially identified him as Ernest Lozano, but it turned out that was the assumed name of a dead U.S. resident. He was then identified as Farzad Naroii, but an investigation then determined his real name was Farhad Farhbaksh, said Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
