A 71-year-old serial bank robber whose career stretches over 55 years struck again in a Columbia, Missouri bank robbery on Valentine’s Day.
Basil Jacob Kyles allegedly entered The First Mid Bank in Columbia around 11 a.m. Feb. 14, armed with a fully loaded Taurus .38 Special Revolver.
Security footage shows the suspect in dark clothing and a black ski mask entering the bank and going to one of the front counters and pointing a gun at the bank teller with his finger on the trigger.
“Don’t move,” he warned. “I know you got buttons in here, don’t press it. I don’t wanna hurt anyone but I will. I don’t have anything to lose.”
The suspect took $6,000 stuffed in a Walmart bag, fled the bank on foot and went to the Broadway Diner to eat a cheeseburger.
