Man once charged as fedora-wearing 'Backstreet Bandit' charged with two North End bank robberies; on the lam
Rolando Gala's robbery attire has come down a bit over the past decade, police say: Where once he was dubbed the "Backstreet Bandit" for robbing banks clad in a fedora and button-down shirts, like the Back Street Boys, he robbed two banks on Hanover Street in the North End last month wearing nothing on his head, two untucked T-shirts, a pair of ill fitting jeans and sneakers.
Police have fingered Rolando Gala for the robberies of the Century Bank and Citizens Bank branches on the morning of Sept. 17; now they have to catch him.
If you've seen him, contact detectives at 617-343-4248 or the anonymous tip line by calling 800-494-TIPS or by texting TIP to CRIME (27463).
In 2010 and then again in 2011, Gala was charged for bank robberies north of Boston, in which he would wear a fedora.
No fedora in September:
Innocent, etc.

Were his recent robberies….
…. committed on dress down Fridays?
Do they have bandit fashion
Do they have bandit fashion shows in prison?
two T-shirts?
those look like tighty whities to me.
Oh, you might be right
Would go with the saggy pants ...
So has it been established yet whether ….
…. Rolando Gala is Ben Afleck’s street name or not?
