Police search for the Binky Bandit

Police in Oklahoma City are looking for a man they say is responsible for a carjacking on Friday evening. Police have dubbed the man the “Binky Bandit” because he had a pacifier in his mouth at the time of the carjacking.



He also stole the victim’s wallet while pointing a handgun at him. Sgt. Jennifer Wardlow said, “It’s something that we don’t see very often, a man who is our suspect in such a violent crime to have a pacifier but we can't forget the fact that it is a very serious crime.”



Police believe the Binky Bandit may have been using the teething tool to protect his teeth from the side effects of drugs. “There are certain drugs that people use that have certain effects.
