A man is suspected of committing seven Salt Lake City-area bank robberies over the holidays, and the FBI is asking the public to help catch him.

The FBI’s Salt Lake City division put out a wanted poster Friday, detailing information about a man the feds are calling “The Holiday Bandit,” who they say robbed six banks and a credit union around Salt Lake City between Nov. 20 and Dec. 28.
