DENVER - The FBI wants you to be on the look out for an armed and dangerous man investigators say looks like "Shaggy" from "Scooby Do" and has robbed 11 banks in two states.

The "Shaggy Bandit" has hit 10 Colorado Banks and one bank in Arizona. The FBI says the "Shaggy Bandit" generally enters banks with a dark backpack and demands money from the teller.


He's entered three different banks without getting money, but then just immediately went to another bank where he did get money.


Investigators think there is a second person waiting in a get-away car outside the banks, but at this time they do not have a description of that person.


Despite his light-hearted nickname, the FBI Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force considers this man armed and dangerous.


He is described as a man in his late 20s or early 30s, he has a slim build, is between 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall and has blondish hair. He may have facial hair and acne or pock marks on his face. He usually wears a hat and carries a backpack.
