WHITTIER, Calif. – A man arrested and charged with last month’s robbery at Southwestern FCU is believed to be the so-called Beret bandit, responsible for as many as eight area hold-ups.
Rick Mauschund, 31, was arrested, along with his girlfriend, Linda Martin, 29, after he allegedly hit the local credit union branch.
The bandit got his nickname after he robbed another local bank while wearing a tan beret.
