Police search for serial bank robber

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Police need the public’s help in their search for a serial bank robber.

Authorities said the female robber has hit banks in Cobb County, Fulton County and in the state of Tennessee since mid-June.

Her latest robbery happened on July 8 at the Navy Federal Credit Union on Barrett Parkway in Kennesaw. The FBI says the same day she tried to rob a Chase branch on Cheshire Bridge Road in northeast Atlanta but was unsuccessful.

Her string of robberies goes back to June 16 when she entered a Wells Fargo bank on Roswell Street Northeast in Marietta. Police said after she approached the teller, she presented a demand note and then announced the robbery. After she got an undisclosed amount of cash, she left the bank, police said.

She repeated the pattern at other branches in Georgia and made her way to Tennessee.

Ten days later, she used the same tactics at another Wells Fargo branch on Roswell Road in Sandy Springs, according to police. Two days after that, she hit a Chase Bank on Howell Mill Road in Atlanta pulling off the same job.

The next day, police said the woman had dyed her hair red and made her way to Chattanooga, Tennessee.

According to a news release sent to Channel 2 Action News, she announced a robbery through another demand note at a SunTrust Bank there.

In spite of the threat, police say the teller did not give her any money, and the female suspect demanded the note back and left.

The FBI wants her caught and so do customers.

"I think she needs to be caught or turn herself in, it'll be easier on her," said customer William Hampton. "A woman robbing? That's what I think about it. You don't expect that out of a woman to do."

Authorities hope these photos from each of the robberies will help them track her down.
