Medford heists suspect now in custody of FBI MailTribune.com Writer Posted Oct. 22, 2006 at 2:00 AM Updated Dec 19, 2010 at 1:03 AM Posted Oct. 22, 2006 at 2:00 AM Updated Dec 19, 2010 at 1:03 AM » Social News A man suspected of two recent Medford bank robberies surrendered Saturday to FBI agents in California. John Michael Gifford, 38, called the agents and turned himself in at a Mexican restaurant in Arcadia, Calif., which is southeast of Los Angeles, Medford police Lt. Tim George said. Investigators believe Gifford robbed the Highway 62 Washington Mutual branch on Sept. 29 and the Wells Fargo Bank on McAndrews Road on Oct. 13. In addition, he was tied to an Oct. 2 robbery of a Bank of America branch in Tigard. He may also be responsible for a bank heist near Seattle and an Oct. 16 robbery in Redding, Calif., George said. He was lodged in jail near Pasadena, where he remained late Saturday on $3 million bail. George was unsure when Gifford would be returned to Oregon for his initial court appearance. The Sept. 21 robbery of a U.S. Bank branch on Central Avenue remains unsolved. George did not say whether police suspect Gifford was involved. "We're not sure if he robbed that one," he added.
