PHOENIX, Ariz. (Reuters)
She is believed to have robbed seven Phoenix-area bank
branches in the last month, including three Tuesday.
"She's been described by every victim who has seen her as a
very ugly woman," said Sgt. John Van Reusen, of the
Phoenix Police Department. "It's kind of insulting, but maybe
that will tick her off -- maybe she'll call me."
Police said the routine was always
the same. Pretending to be
armed, the robber demanded money, stuffed it into a
handbag and fled on foot. The robber has been seen wearing at
least four different colored wigs and puts on heavy
make-up.
Van Reusen said police were keeping an open mind. "We
haven't eliminated the possibility that it could be an ugly
man posing as an ugly woman," he said. "You never can tell."
Police say they're hunting a
"very ugly woman"
suspected of a string of bank robberies in
Arizona and justify using the description by saying it's the
best they have.
