A spokesperson for the San Francisco County Jail has confirmed they are detaining the area's latest serial bank robber.

That man, Gerardo Lopez, had been dubbed the Bad Beard Bandid by members of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) due to the unattractive fake beard he wore during the heists.

The bandit is believed to be responsible for recent holdups in Ripon, Manteca, Sunnyvale, Capitola, Tracy, San Jose and Dublin.  His streak, according to investigators, began in late November and ran through Feb. 25 of this year.

Authorities have not said how much money he got away with during his bank robbery hijinks, but it may have spanned well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Lopez came onto the FBI radar after they started taking a closer look at the bank surveillance footage.  Once the suspect was identified, an arrest warrant was issued.

He was taken into custody by federal agents and the Capitola Police late last week.  He's since been booked into the San Francisco County Jail and faces a long list of charges.

A spokesperson for the local police department reportedly said they were able to help point the FBI into the suspects location after they were able to track the license plate number of the getaway car.

Bank officials throughout the area say they're happy the Bad Beard Bandit is now behind bars.
