The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has detained Charles Onwuemelie, a 29-year-old serial armed robber from Nigeria known as the “Blue Cloth Bandit”.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, the suspect was detained on Wednesday in connection with 68 armed robberies that have taken place in the LA region since October 2021.

In light of the blue cloth that Onwuemelie used to conceal his firearm during the robberies that took place at gas stations, 7-11s, and Walmarts, Fox News reports that Onwuemelie was given the nickname “Blue Cloth Bandit” by the LAPD.

In response to the suspect’s most recent robbery attempt on September 23, investigators came up with a plan to use surveillance and carry out a search warrant.

The man pretended to shop at a store in a CCTV image that the LAPD made public before pulling out a gun that was wrapped in a blue cloth.

He may also be seen in the video donning blue gloves and a face-covering cap.
