The jury found that Leonard Roulhac, 39, was the man behind the dark mask and sunglasses who robbed, or tried to rob, a dozen banks and credit unions in a six-month period that ended last May when an off-duty police officer chased Roulhac into Suffolk following the last armed robbery.

Roulhac was identified by some of the tellers in part by a unique mole on his face that they could see in video surveillance footage of the robber.
