The newly released photos come a week after federal agents arrested a man nicknamed the "Green Gator Bandit." Christopher Paul Daniels, 55, of Torrance, was arrested in Palos Verdes Estates. The suspect in these cases wore a green face-covering in each of the robberies. The FBI believes it has been able to link Daniels to at least 12 bank robberies across Orange County.

The FBI is working with local agencies to capture the "Black and White Sneaker Bandit." Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 310-477-6565.
