COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – Yesterday, we reported on the arrest of a man suspected of robbing banks in 5 states, dubbed the “Barrel Chested Bandit”.
Now we’ve learned he’s also accused in a failed hold up in Colorado Springs. 50 year-old Anthony Lane was arrested in Arizona Wednesday.
Police say he demanded cash at gunpoint from a Chase Bank near Woodmen and Academy on February 3rd.
When the teller opened their drawer, it was empty, so lane left. He’s allegedly responsible for at least a dozen bank robberies in Colorado, Texas, Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico.
