‘Elephant Man Bandit’ Sentenced After Stealing $73,628 In 30 Bank Robberies

 

Anthony Hathaway was first known as the Cyborg Bandit because of the metallic fabric he used to cover his face during heists, then he began draping a shirt over his head and was dubbed the Elephant Man Bandit

Anthony Leonard Hathaway was old school. He dressed up, donned a pair of gloves and personally went door to door for his money. Two-and-a-half-dozen bank doors to be exact.

When the 46-year-old unemployed Everett, Wash., man went off to prison the other day, he ended what officials think may be a Northwest record for bank-robbing frequency: 30 holdups in a 1-year, 6-day span with a tax-free take of $73,628. That’s roughly two to three heists every month averaging around $2,450. At that rate, said the FBI’s Seattle Safe Streets Task Force, “he might top the list for sheer number of robberies in a one-year period.”

The FBI considers Carl Gugasian of Pennsylvania as the most prolific bank robber ever. Currently serving a 17-year-sentence, he robbed more than 50 banks, the agency said, making off with $2 million. But it took him 30 years.

Female Store Clerk Chases Off Robber With Her Bare Hands And A Hammer

 

Georgia gas station employee fought off would be robber with her bare hands and a hammer.
 
This female might be one of the toughest chicks I’ve seen in awhile. She brought a hammer to the gunfight. Talk about badass! 

A would be robber came into to the Keysville Convenience Store on employee Bhumika Patel’s shift with intensions of sticking up the place. Instead of getting away with the cash, he ended up getting attacked by the fiesty lady clerk. Ultimately, he was chased out of the store by Patel and her hammer. LOL!
Here’s the gist:

The teenager waltzed into the gas station shop on Tuesday, picked up a can of Mountain Dew and approached the counter to pay for the soda. 

When Patel popped open cash register’s drawer to make change, the normal transition turned violent: the teen whipped out a gun from his hoodie pocket and pointed it at the clerk.

 

Patel told WFXG news after the stickup:

“I said, ‘Go ahead. You wanna shoot me? Go ahead.’” 

Patel credits her faith in a higher power for her stoic bravery in the ordeal:   

“I just believe strongly in my religion and my God, if he wants to save me, nobody can touch me,” she said. “That’s why I’m like, ‘No.’ I have my God everywhere with me.”

 “That’s why I’m like, ‘No.’ I have my God everywhere with me.”
