Read full article: 82-year-old with record of bank robberies convicted againRobert Francis Krebs faces a maximum 25 years in prison after a jury found him guilty Wednesday of armed bank robbery. In the Florida robbery, the branch manager and teller tripped a silent alarm and were later put in the bank vault. Authorities say he walked away with nearly $8,400 and later told investigators that he almost got struck by a vehicle while crossing a roadway. Bank robbery experts say it’s unusual for older people to hold up lending institutions. Hunter “Red” Rountree, who has been dubbed America’s oldest bank robber, was convicted of committing two robberies in his mid-80s and was 91 at the time of his last heist in the early 2000s.
