80-year-old accused of bank robbery has decades-old record |
2018-01-20 |
![]() Experts say the heist on Friday at the Pyramid Federal Credit Union branch represents a rarity in the world of bank robbery: The suspect, who was jugged Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! the next day, is 80 years old. And as it turns out, suspect Robert Francis Krebs has a decades-old criminal record for stealing from banks, including a 1981 robbery in Florida in which a branch manager and a teller were handcuffed and left in a vault. Robert Francis Krebs served more than 30 years in prison for the bank robbery near Orlando and has a 1966 conviction in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... for embezzling $72,000 from a bank where he worked as a teller. He also did time for theft and armed robbery convictions from Arizona dating back to 1980. He was released from prison in Florida last summer and has since been found to have violated his probation because he didn’t disclose his whereabouts to authorities, according to the Florida Department of Corrections. Krebs, who is tossed in the clink Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! on a $50,000 bond, was booked on suspicion of armed robbery in the Tucson, Arizona, robbery. It’s unclear whether Krebs has yet been assigned an attorney. Tucson police front man Officer Chris Hawkins said Sherlocks are trying to determine the motive behind Friday’s robbery. |

#8 I was kind of hoping for a long lost Bulger brother; maybe the next bank robbery he'll turn up. |

#6 Why did he rob a bank? Because he wasn't in prison anymore. Not too many bank branches in prisons; you have to wait til you're out before you jack one. |
