Louisiana’s “Saw Bandit” Arrested in Texas After Statewide ATM Theft Spree

The notorious "saw bandit," identified as Alfred Cobb, has been apprehended in Temple, Texas, ending a statewide hunt that spanned several months. Cobb, accused of using a heavy-duty cutting saw to break into ATMs across Louisiana, was arrested at a U-Haul rental location nearly 500 miles from where his alleged crime spree began.

The St. John Parish Sheriff's Office has linked Cobb to a string of ATM thefts throughout Louisiana, describing his methods as bold and calculated. Surveillance footage from multiple locations captured Cobb wielding a powerful cutting tool to breach the machines and access cash inside. . .
