Speedy bandit blazes through Dallas

DALLAS (Reuters) - A speedy bandit has blazed through Dallas during the morning rush hour, robbing nine businesses in about two hours.



The bandit, armed with a gun, drove a Cadillac through town and robbed businesses at a rate of one about every 13 minutes along a path covering about 20 miles, police said. No one was injured in the robberies.


The bandit would hit about two or three places in a certain area on Thursday and then drive on. He had a penchant for doughnut shops, robbing three of them during his robbery spree.


"It could be drug related. There could be any number of reasons for these crimes," said Steve Walthall, a Dallas police spokesman.


Police said they have a description of the man as well as licence plate number from the car he was driving.


But haste makes waste, even for a stick-up man.


The robberies apparently did not net the man a great deal of money as he stole between $30 and $150 per stick-up, police said.
