bank robber
Stickup artist type
A bank robber is someone who steals money from a bank, typically through force, threat, or intimidation rather than fraud or embezzlement.
The term evokes the classic holdup—masked figures, demands for cash, getaway cars: The bank robber passed a note to the teller.
Bank robbers occupy a particular place in American mythology, from Jesse James to Bonnie and Clyde.
