HOUSTON (WBAP/KLIF News) – The FBI in Houston is looking for a serial bank robber that has hit several banks in Houston and Sugarland. The woman allegedly robbed at least three banks in December of 2016.
Investigators said the woman never spoke but handed tellers a threatening note demanding cash. No one was physically hurt during any of the robberies.
Special Agent Shauna Dunlap said investigators believe the woman is linked to a man who also robbed a Houston-area bank on December 2, a day after one of her heists.
“The female robber wore a rather unique-style wide-brimmed camouflage hat. In the photo with the male robber, when he went in and robbed in a very similar manner, he appears to be wearing an identical hat,” she said.
Dunlap said the pair may not be residents of Houston and could be headed to other cities, including here in North Texas.
“They may be coming in from outside because the last robberies they hit here were in December…they were in short clumps together. Certainly if they were capable of committing these robberies, they may be capable of committing addition robberies elsewhere,” she said.
The woman is described as a White or Hispanic with brown hair and is believed to be in her late twenties, about 5’1″ – 5’2″ tall and 140 – 150 pounds.
Dunlap said witnesses told investigators that the woman had dark hair, a mole on her right upper cheek and had a tattoo on her upper right chest.
The man is African American, believed to be in his late twenties, 5’4″ – 5’8″ tall with a thin build.
The woman’s image will be featured on Clear Channel outdoor digital billboards across the greater Houston area.
Crime Stoppers is offering an up to $5,000 reward for information leading to the identification and arrest of the suspects.
