Winnie the Pooh wanted by the FBI

CHICAGO (AP) - August 13, 2009

Winnie the Pooh is wanted in a Chicago-area bank robbery.

FBI agents are looking for a crook they're calling the Winnie the Pooh Bandit.

The feds say the man was captured on surveillance video robbing a suburban Chicago bank at gunpoint last week.

The FBI released photos of the robbery yesterday, showing the suspect wearing a Winnie the Pooh sweatshirt.

FBI agents like to give bank robbers nicknames.

It's a way for agents to generate tips about suspects.
