Beware of Boston Water and Sewer workers in banks

Channel 4 reports a guy is wanted for holding up at least 10 area banks. On at least two occasions, he was wearing a Boston Water and Sewer Commission jacket. He's a white guy, between 5'10 and 6" and is beefy. And he's armed and dangerous.

Is it my imagination or has there been an increase in the number of bank robberies around here in recent months?
