#jaiyeorie A Nigerian serial thief was arrested in the United States just months after throwing a lavish wedding reception. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has apprehended a 26-year-old Nigerian serial thief known as the "Blue Cloth Bandit," Charles Chukwuma Onwuemelie. LAPD accused Onwuemelie, who was detained on Wednesday, of 68 armed robberies that occurred in the Los Angeles area since October 2021. According to Fox News, Onwuemelie was called "Blue Fabric Bandit" by the Los Angeles Police Department in a news release because he allegedly "used a blue cloth to disguise the weapon used in the robberies that occurred at gas stations, 7-11s, and Walmarts." "The suspect would disguise himself by wearing various hats, a face mask, and rubber gloves."
The same vehicle was utilized in many of the robberies, and various factors led to the identification of the same culprit.

Bandit's most recent effort occurred on September 23, when investigators formulated a plan to employ surveillance and a search warrant.
According to surveillance footage published by the LAPD, the man seemed to buy things at a store before revealing his revolver, which was wrapped in a blue cloth.
He was also wearing blue gloves and a cap that covered his face in the footage.

 

 

 

Police recovered a handgun and other evidence from the scene of Onwuemelie's most recent alleged robbery, which linked him to the incident.
The defendant has been charged with 16 counts of robbery allegedly committed within the city limits of Los Angeles, while officials expect the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department to file further charges for a variety of other crimes allegedly committed within the county.
