$5,000 reward for The Buckshot Bandits

Earlier this month, we reported on driving into the aftermath of a pair of bank holdups in the San Fernando Valley. Shotgun-wielding crooks had made off with thousands of dollars and in one bank left behind a device they said was a bomb. They were, the FBI says, a six-man "crew" dubbed the Buckshot Bandits, suspected of five holdups at various banks in the San Fernando Valley.

While we've been otherwise occupied, the G-Men have offered a five thousand dollar reward and released this new batch of surveillance photos and a phone number--213.485.2511-- for tips.
