NEW YORK — The heroin-addict bank robber who became one of the most-wanted men in New York for a spree that began around Christmas had grenades inside his Queens home, sources revealed yesterday.
Marat Mikhaylich, 35 - dubbed the “Holiday Bandit” - was captured Tuesday after the NYPD’s high-tech license-plate readers, along with some old-fashioned detective work by the FBI, led cops to his stolen getaway car, the sources said.
After his arrest, police and FBI agents conducted a search of Mikhaylich’s Queens apartment and found several grenades, sources told The Post.
Mikhaylich is suspected in seven heists in Brooklyn and Staten Island, as well as two in New Jersey.
