\"\"<\/img>A "person of interest" is in custody Friday morning in connection with a string of "blue note" bank robberies in Southern California.<\/p>\n

Authorities said a 50-year-old man was taken into custody from his home in Laguna Niguel.<\/p>\n

The "blue note bandit" is believed responsible for robbing 15 banks in Southern California.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Most of the robberies have occurred at banks in Orange County,
\nincluding the robber’s target on Tuesday: a Home Savings of America
\nbranch on Moulton Parkway in Laguna Niguel. According to the Orange
\nCounty Sheriff’s Department, the suspect walked up to a teller with a
\nnote demanding money. It is unclear how much money he made away with.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

He was given the "blue note"\u00a0moniker by authorities because he submitted some of the notes to tellers on blue paper.<\/p>\n

According to KTLA News,<\/a> neighbors in Laguna Niguel said between 50 to 75 law
\nenforcement officials swarmed the suspect’s home in the 23000 block of
\nPorpoise Cove in Laguna Niguel Wednesday evening. Neighbors say the suspect is a married man with two teenage sons.<\/p>\n
