Houston authorities looking for 'Big Shades Bandit' linked to three bank heists

A Houston-area bank robber has been dubbed the "Big Shades Bandit" for his large sunglasses worn during the heists.

An alleged bank robber with a penchant for large black sunglasses is being sought in connection with a series of heists. 

The FBI said the unidentified suspect known as the "Big Shades Bandit" wore the over sized shades during his first known robbery on June 29 inside a First Convenience Bank.

He robbed another First Convenience Bank on Aug. 13 and struck again on Tuesday.
