Suspect Arrested in String of Robberies
A man believed to be the “tennis-elbow bandit,” wanted for robbing three dozen banks and stores in Los Angeles County during the last two years, has been arrested.
Terrance Lynn Miller, 47, of Los Angeles was stopped Wednesday in North Hollywood by police who thought they recognized him.
The robber earned his nickname because he wore an athletic bandage over his right elbow, though authorities believe it served to cover a tattoo.
Described as the “the guy-next-door type,” the robber typically would hand tellers notes demanding several thousand dollars in $100 and $50 bills.
