The FBI sounds like an important, oh-so-official organization—and it is. But even the good old Federal Bureau of Investigations sometimes opts to give criminals weird nicknames. Take, for instance, these five highly sought bandits, who are accused of everything from wearing funny little masks to being, well, really old …
1. BAD BREATH BANDIT
Three bank robberies pulled off by a man wearing a paper face mask left this suspect with a foul name. He’s dubbed the “Bad Breath Bandit” by the FBI because everytime this unknown alleged perp walks into a bank, he’s wearing one of those funny little white masks. Since 2014, the FBI says he’s struck three times in Northern California. In the past, the masked bandit has reportedly flashed a gun, but so far, he hasn’t used it. Authorities believe he’s likely a white male who stands about six feet tall. In one of the robberies, he was wearing a Nike zip jacket with a logo on the front.

2. GEEZER BANDIT
Although he may look like an older gent in the photos, the FBI said this man might just be wearing a synthetic mask disguise. On the West Coast, agents say the suspect is wanted for allegedly committing at least 16 robberies beginning in 2009. Those heists spanned until 2011, and since then the FBI says things have been quieting down. In one of the robberies, the suspect was seen fleeing in a white BMW, possibly a 5-series. Despite the possible mask, authorities think he could be in his 60s or 70s and he’s known to wear gloves.
3. AK-47 BANDIT
This suspect has struck from California to Nebraska. The FBI said he’s carried an assault rifle during these takeover-style robberies, and he’s not afraid to use his weapon. In fact, agents say the suspect has struck five times and in one of the robberies he allegedly wounded a police officer while escaping. Authorities believe he’s a white male who, along with the AK-47, is known to carry a drum magazine. He’s most likely between the ages of 25-47.

4. LATE NIGHT BANDIT
One of these suspects has been nabbed, but the second one is still on the run. According to the FBI, these robberies occurred in Arizona and targeted gas stations and convenience stores across the state. Authorities say they took down 25-year-old Anthony Hamilton, but they still need to identify the second man seen with him in photos and videos. All the incidents occurred late at night, hence the nickname. The outstanding suspect is most likely an African American male, according to the FBI, and possibly in his 20s.

5. PICK-A-LOGO BANDIT
This suspect is believed to be armed and dangerous. The FBI said the unidentified “Pick-a-logo” bandit has allegedly struck three times throughout the Chicago area. Agents came up with this moniker because every time he’s been known to strike, the suspect has been wearing a different logo on his jacket. He’s believed to be an African American man with a thin build, and along with the jackets, he reportedly wears a variety of hats. In the FBI photos, his face is clearly seen.
