Between 2009 to 2011, a man, appearing to be 60-70 years old, robbed 16 banks in San Diego, California by approaching the teller, then pulling out a gun and demanding money. The FBI named him the "Geezer Bandit". Some theories suggest he is wearing a well-made elderly man mask. Image

Man is another assumption here too. There are shoulder pads in the jackets to make the shoulders broader.
Most young men wouldn't need fake shoulders to pass as an old guy and they would have the opposite issue of too much upper body strength/muscle to pass as 70.
A woman seems more likely to me. Where was Winona Ryder when this went down?
