Apparently, he isn't the worst security guard since the Rolling Stones ingeniously opted to hire the Hell's Angels to work Altamont. He's just a crook.

It turns out a man who dresses like a security guard is providing anything but at banks in both Alameda and San Francisco. Alameda police say the man who robbed a Wells Fargo there on Friday is also suspected of ripping off two San Francisco banks: The Wells Fargo at 557 Castro on Nov. 5 and the Chase at 1811 19th Ave. on Nov. 13.

Following the Alameda robbery, the faux guard was seen leaving the scene with an accomplice in a 1987 four-door Chevrolet Impala with a California license plates.

The suspect is described as a black man, aged
45 to 50, standing 6-feet-tall and weighing about 180 pounds.
