Authorities need your help finding a man the FBI has dubbed the 'Granddaddy Bandit' for holding up two banks in Houston but only walked out with money from one of them.

We're told the bandit first hit up a Chase Bank on North Freeway around 2:15 p.m. The man walked to a teller, showed them a concealed handgun before demanding cash. The teller did not have access to the money, according to the FBI's press release, and left empty-handed.

Around 3:45 p.m., officials believe the Granddaddy Bandit went to a Capital One bank in the 1500 block of Studemont. Like the previous encounter, the FBI says the bandit "approached the teller counter, told the teller he was committing a bank robbery and demanded cash." He then showed a handgun hidden in his backpack and left with an undisclosed amount of money.

Witnesses described the so-called Granddaddy Bandit as between 5'9" or 6" tall in his mid to late 50s or early 60s with a medium to heavyset build wearing a black baseball-style cap with a Texas Tech University logo on the front and a face mask. A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered by Crime Stoppers for any information leading to the Granddaddy Bandit's identity and/or arrest. Tips may be submitted by calling 713-222-TIPS or through Crime Stoppers' website.
