Police on trail of 'fat bandit'

Although victims initially suspected that a man who robbed three banks within 90 minutes yesterday was wearing a fat suit as a disguise, police today say the man really is a fat guy.

"We don't believe it's a fat suit," Det. Russ Fairey said. "We just think he is fat."

Early reports indicated the robber must have been wearing a "fat suit" to disguise his identity.

But police now believe the robber is about 5-foot-9 and 300 pounds. His beard, however, is a fake.
