Luck Runs Out for Broward's ‘Lucky Bandit': FBI

A man dubbed the "Lucky Bandit" after robbing Broward banks without a disguise has been caught, officials said.

Derek Bailey, 57, was arrested Tuesday by the Seminole Police Department and FBI in Hollywood, FBI officials said.

Bailey was being held without bond Wednesday, Broward jail records showed. It was unknown if he has an attorney.

Bailey, from Jamaica, is facing charges in two robberies on April 29 at a Wells Fargo and Citibank, both in Pembroke Pines. Other robberies linked to Bailey are also under investigation, FBI officials said.

His first court appearance was scheduled for Wednesday.
