Feds, Marietta police hunt woman bank robber

She is tall, slim, wears a bandanna, and she is wanted for two bank robberies.

The FBI and Marietta police are hunting for the woman suspected of pulling off two robberies. The first was at the Wells Fargo bank in Marietta, and the second at a PNC Bank in Sandy Springs.

“The fact that she's hit so close together, time wise, leads us to believe we will see her again,” says Stephen Emmett with the FBI.

The first robbery, at the Wells Fargo, happened on June 16 at the bank on Roswell Street NE. The second was 10 days later, on June 26 at the PNC Bank at 5640 Roswell Road in Sandy Springs.

Both robberies were pulled off late in the afternoon.

In both cases the robber entered the bank, told an employee that this was a robbery, and walked away with the cash.

There were surveillance cameras at the banks and they took some very clear pictures of the suspect.

“I understand the pictures are innocuous, but make no mistake, a robbery is occurring,” Emmett tells WSB. “Someone, from the photographs, has to know who this person is.”

The individual in both robberies is described as a black female, 25 to 35 years old with a slender to medium build and wearing a bandanna.
