Federal and central Ohio authorities are searching for a suspect they say robbed two banks within the span of two hours with a fake beard. Authorities say the first robbery took place at a Columbus bank on Sawmill Road at around 12:15 yesterday afternoon. They say the same person then robbed a Dublin bank on Frantz Road at around 2:00 p.m. Investigators say it's the same person that's been labeled the "bad beard bandit," who robbed a central Ohio bank last month. They're encouraging anyone with more information to contact Columbus or Dublin police.
