Cops Seek Bad Girl Bank Robber
On May 7, 2007 at approximately 1pm, authorities say a young woman in her twenties entered Wachovia Bank on Mesa Drive in Austin, Texas and approached the teller with a note that requested 20, 50, and 100 dollar bills. The teller gave the cash to the girl and watched her flee the bank by foot. At that moment, the Ponytail Bandit was born.
Footage from surveillance cameras show a white, blonde woman with shoulder-length blonde hair in a ponytail waiting in line and approaching the teller. She is described as having a thin build and was wearing a red sweater-type jacket and light to medium stone-washed jeans and carries a hand-bag. Her ponytail was underneath what would become a staple part of her look -- a Longhorn baseball cap.
A few weeks later and almost 1800 miles away from the first heist, the Ponytail Bandit struck again, this time at a Wells Fargo Bank in Roseville, Calif. On May 23, 2007, authorities say a young blonde woman with a ponytail under her baseball cap entered the bank and demanded cash. This time, officials say that the unknown female was wearing a white, hooded sweatshirt. Police say she got away with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The Ponytail Bandit Strikes Again
One week after her California caper, First Heritage Bank in Lynnwood, Wash. was the next stop for the Ponytail Bandit. Authorities tell AMW that on May 30, 2007, another robbery went down with almost identical circumstances. Surveillance video shows that the she arrived at First Heritage Bank wearing a blue cap and a zippered sweatshirt and once again asked the teller for cash. Authorities believe that she fled the scene on foot.
The FBI says that the Ponytail Bandit remains calm and friendly throughout each robbery. They also mention that she has a distinct mannerism where she crosses her arms and has her shoulders slouched forward. The blonde-haired bandit also requests that the tellers smile as they give her the money.
The FBI and local law enforcement in three states are asking for the public's help with information leading to the arrest of the young woman dubbed The Ponytail Bandit in hopes that this bad girl will soon be behind bars.
