The Cop That Robbed Banks - Snowbird Bandit (True Story)

Cops get a firsthand look at the insane amounts of money criminals rake in with their illegal ventures, and sometimes the cops decide "Crime does pay". In today's crazy new video we're sharing the true story of the "Snowbird Bandit", the retired cop who turned to robbing banks, but was turned in by his own daughter! Maybe this former cop should have just stayed retired!

Robbing banks while being a former cop is great because you would know how the best bank robbers pulled off their tricks.

If he had lived in England, his wife would have been looked after by the National Health Service and there would have been no medical bills. We will never know if this would have avoided the bank robberies, gambling, drinking, potential suicide, etc. But maybe it could have helped.

The most surprising thing is that he, as an officer who spent a not ungoodly part of his career chasing down bank robbers didn't realize that bank robbery is just about the lowest percentage crime you can commit. The risk to reward just never stacks up. A Cop thinkong of a life of crime should have known that.

[@ssbbSephi]

this is a tragedy where the system failed him

[@Henri_II]

During the apartheid era in South Africa, a police captain, namely André Stander, also robbed banks part time, sometimes even investigating his own crime scene after the deed. When police started closing in on his trail, he fled to the US, where he was eventually shot by police during an altercation with an officer.

Yeah he was awesome dude. Type in Mastermind Stander Gang..... amazing series

If he was a drug kingpin, of course you wouldn't turn him in especially if you grew up in an environment where violence is a norm plus the fact that you also benefit from his profits. But if raised correctly like the daughter in this video, and your father became a druglord, a criminal, a killer soon after then you would know what to do.
