The Chino Police Department in California and police and the FBI in Salt Lake City are currently looking for a man who robbed an Idaho credit union and who authorities also believe may be responsible for other robberies in California and Washington. The suspect is known as the "AK-47 Bandit." The suspect, considered armed and extremely dangerous, robbed the East Idaho Credit Union in Rexberg a little more than a week ago. During that robbery, the masked gunman used an assault rifle, ordered customers and employees into a vault and then stole cash. No one was injured. A suspect fitting the same description is suspected in a Chino, California heist last February that ended with the suspect shooting and nearly killing a police officer. Thankfully, that officer looks like he will recover according to officials familiar with the case. Below is a flyer from the Chino PD on the would-be cop killer.

The FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to his arrest. The East Idaho Credit Union is offering an additional reward of up to $20,000 for information. The obvious reward for law enforcement officials is the satisfaction of helping to bring an armed bank robber that nearly killed a cop to justice. FBI authorities say the "AK-47 Bandit" is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached.
