Houston police say ‘sharp dressed man' in hat and dark suit wanted in 2 bank robberies

Houston police are looking for a "sharp dressed" man caught on camera in two bank robberies this month. 

The latest robbery occurred Tuesday afternoon, Houston police say. Around 2 p.m. a man entered a bank at the 1700 block of Fountain View. The man walked up to a bank employee, presented a "threatening note" demanding cash, gave the employee a bag to put the money in, and displayed a handgun. 

Police say the employee complied with the suspect’s request and fled in an unknown direction. 

The suspect is believed to be the same man responsible for another bank robbery on Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023 at the 5800 block of San Felipe, in Houston, Texas. Police say the suspect committed the robbery in a "similar manner."

Russia to require basic military training in schools in 'evocation of the Soviet Union,' UK says

Russian students will start training with assault rifles and hand grenades under new guidelines from the country's education ministry, an addition to the curriculum that is reminiscent of the Soviet Union, the UK Ministry of Defense said Sunday. 

The "Basics of Life Safety" course, which will become mandatory in secondary schools this September, includes military drills, salutes, and weapons training.

The Ministry of Science and Higher Education also announced plans last month for a "military training basics" program at colleges

"The initiatives highlight the increasingly mila in wartime Russia, as well as being a (likely deliberate) evocation of the Soviet Union: similar training was mandatory in schools up to 1993," the UK Ministry of Defense said.

Russian Education Minister Sergey Kravtsov told the state-run news agency TASS that the curriculum would start being tested in January ahead of the full rollout next school year. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization of 300,000 reservists in September amid heavy losses from its invasion of Ukraine. 

Russian officials are also mulling increasing the age for routine military conscription from 27 to 30 in an effort to bolster the country's fighting force, according the UK Ministry of Defense.
