He claimed he was a securities analyst from Pembroke, Ontario but in fact he was a gifted thief who flew first class from city to city robbing banks, earning the nickname the 'Flying Bandit'. Over a three year period Galvan robbed over 50 banks in almost every province and was only caught in 1987 when he branched out into jewelry theft.
