PHOENIX, AZ—On Monday, December 12th the FBI Bank Robbery Task Force arrested Scott Anthony Martinez, 47, who is believed to be the “Goldeneye Bandit.”

In August, the FBI asked for the public’s assistance in identifying the “Goldeneye Bandit” in connection with two bank robberies but further investigation resulted with the suspect being charged with the following four robberies:
