Bank-Robbing Women Sought By FBI, Houston Police

HOUSTON, TX — Their MO has been consistent: They walk into a bank and hand a note demanding money to a teller. Sometimes it works, and the two women leave with cash — as happened twice on Wednesday — and sometimes they flee before they can get the money, as was the case in one incident on the same day.

Now the FBI has become involved, putting out an alert asking the public for assistance in apprehending the brazen robbers.

According to authorities, the pair, identified as black females 18 to 24 years old — one is 5 feet 4 inches tall, the other 5 feet 8 inches — was most recently seen leaving a Chase bank in a new-model silver Volkswagen Jetta in the company of two black males.

So far in May, the women have targeted five Chase branches, according to officials, as reported by KTRK: at 19507 North Freeway; 929 East Little York Road; 13706 East Freeway; 10611 Broadway in Pearland; and 1102 Silber Road.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS or the FBI at 713-693-5000. Crime Stoppers is offering as much as $5,000 for information leading to an arrest.
