The "Geezer Bandit" strikes again! 

The geriatric Butch Cassidy blazing a trail along the Southern California coast pulled off his 11th bank robbery Thursday, the FBI said. 

The elderly robber went through what's become his trademark routine, once again passing a teller a demand note while pointing a small-caliber revolver, FBI spokesman Darrell Foxworth told The San Diego Union-Tribune. 

"The robber carried a leather case which contained a small caliber pistol that he threatened to use, if the teller did not comply with his demands," the FBI said in a statement. 

The latest heist occurred around 1:15 p.m. at a Bank of America in Temecula, a town about 60 miles north of San Diego. 

Surveillance camera images of the robbery suspect show a dapper older gentleman wearing a white newsboy cap, sunglasses and a crisp, white button-down shirt. 

He is estimated to be between 60 and 70 years old and is believed to be responsible for 10 bank robberies in San Diego County, in addition to this latest in Riverside County. 

The suspect has eluded FBI agents for nearly a year. His first robbery was in August 2009 and the most recent before his latest heist was on June 7. 

He has carried a gun in at least two of the robberies, and the FBI says he should be considered dangerous. 

"In these types of crimes, the potential for violence is significant," San Diego FBI spokeswoman April Langwell told CNN. 

The criminal has built a following as he continues to stump law enforcement with his capers.

There are at least two Facebook fan pages devoted to following his daring robberies and a growing mystique around theories that his wrinkles and age spots might be a sophisticated disguise. 

There are at least three rewards totaling $16,000 being offered for information or tips leading to the Geezer Bandit's arrest and conviction.
