DENVER (AP) - The FBI has now linked the "Shaggy Bandit" to bank robberies in Kansas and New Mexico as well as Colorado and Arizona.

The agency said Thursday the man is suspected in a total of 17 robberies in the four states since June 24. Investigators say no gun or other weapon has been used.

The FBI calls the suspect the Shaggy Bandit because of his resemblance to a character in the "Scooby Doo" cartoon.

He was already suspected in more than a dozen robberies in Colorado, mostly in the Denver area, and one in Flagstaff, Ariz.

The FBI said Thursday he's now suspected of robbing a Wells Fargo bank in Albuquerque, N.M., on June 30 and a Peoples Bank and Trust in Hutchinson, Kan., on July 14.
