David Wayne Stanley, the 58-year-old accused of a string of bank heists in Harris County, is now caged behind bars in Georgia, the FBI Houston branch confirms. This comes after a nefarious spree that left the Houston area on high alert, now culminating in an arrest in Chatham County. According to KTRK, authorities have been hot on the heels of Stanley after two banks reportedly fell victim to his criminal tactics about a month ago.

Clad in a signature red long-sleeved shirt, dark jeans, and sunglasses, the 'Playbook Pilferer' further obscured his identity with a black medical mask as he executed his plots. A warrant in Harris County now awaits Stanley's extradition. KTRK conveyed that the suspect was spotted in one of the banks, perfectly fitting the described attire of the heist maestro.

As reported by FOX26 Houston, the robber struck the Houston area with calculated precision.

Officials say a warrant has been issued for Stanley's arrest in Harris County.
