A man dubbed the “Tan Pants Bandit” has been arrested by the FBI.
On Aug. 1, the FBI confirmed Joaquin Ricardo Molinar, who earned the moniker for wearing tan pants while allegedly robbing six banks in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, was arrested.
The Tan Pants Bandit — also known at one time as the grey pants bandit for switching up his outfit — is suspected of robberies at First Financial Credit Union March 4, Rio Grande Credit Union of Rio Rancho on April 1 and at the Washington Federal on May 3.
Authorities say cell phone location data revealed Molinar was near those banks at the time of the crime.
