A 32 year-old drifter arrested in Compton has admitted that he is the so-called “Tiger Bandit” responsible for a week-long string of local bank robberies that occurred last month.

Winston Damian Evans was arrested at a relative’s house in Compton last Tuesday and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Major Crimes Bureau Detectives filed bank robbery charges on Thursday. A search warrant was served at the residence and clothing believed to have been worn during the robberies and a quantity of cash was recovered. Detectives also seized a silver Nissan Altima, which matched the surveillance video image of the getaway car used during the Santa Monica robbery.

No word if his Detroit Tigers baseball hat–the one worn during all of the robberies that earned the suspect the “Tiger Bandit” nickname–was included in the inventory. 

In a later interview, Evans implicated himself in five robberies at banks in Long Beach, Marina del Rey, Santa Monica, Huntington Beach and Lomita, where he reportedly walked in and demanded cash from tellers in various denominations. A sixth bank robbery in Cerritos originally attributed to the Tiger Bandit was not on the list of charges.

Evans is being held on $250,000 bail. He is expected to appear in court December 20.
