TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - The U.S. Marshals Service tracked down and arrested the so called ‘Manila Bandit' wanted in a string of bank robberies in which a man carries a large manila envelope for holding stolen cash.
Tucson police say they identified and obtained an arrest warrant Dec. 28 for 51-year old Walter Furrh.
Robbery detectives traced Furrh to an Ahwatukee Foothills location and Marshals arrested him Saturday.
Furrh was booked into the Maricopa County Jail and is awaiting extradition to Pima County.
Tucson police said earlier the suspect was wanted for at least four bank robberies from July 2010 to December 2010.

I think that the case with this man was that he probably had financial and economic problems. I wish people would learn to get there heads out of the papers and stop with the petty stuff and start getting the real criminals that are in ahwatukee.. and phoenix..its ridiculous how people are now a days and im concerned about it
