NEW YORK (PIX11)—
The bank robber dubbed the "Holiday Bandit" has been arrested in Queens, federal authorities announced Tuesday.According to officials, Marat Mikhavlich, the man they believe is behind at least nine bank robberies in the past three months was arrested Tuesday morning, just a day after he allegedly struck again in Edison, New Jersey.
Mikhavlich fled the Cathay Bank in Edison in a stolen 2007 Camry, police said.
The same vehicle was spotted less than 24 hours later parked along 91st Avenue in Queens. Police moved in and arrested Mikhavlich without incident.
"The Holiday Bandit's three-month bank robbery spree has come to an end," FBI Assistant Director in Charge Janice K. Fedarcyk said in a statement. "This should serve as a stark reminder to anyone who wishes to brandish a weapon, rob a bank, and put the lives of innocent civilians at risk: we will find you and bring you to justice."
