Woman with No Disguise Robs Local Bank

Last week the U.S. Bank branch located inside the Safeway grocery store at 4040 Manzanita Avenue in Carmichael was robbed by a middle aged woman wearing a black trench coat and clear eyeglasses. Making no attempt to conceal her identity the woman walked into the bank and tossed a note to one of the tellers demanding money. Although no weapon was observed the note indicated the robber had a gun and would use it if necessary.

The teller put money in a large black leather type purse the robber had placed on the counter. The robber then grabbed the purse and fled the store. 

The suspect is described as a white female with brown hair, 54 to 58 years old, around 5’7” to 5’8”, and weighing 200 pounds.  

The robbery occurred on October 28, 2009, at 3:37 in the afternoon. 

This case is being investigated by the Sacramento Violent Crimes Task Force (SVCTF), comprised of FBI agents and Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department Robbery Detectives. Anyone with information regarding this robbery is asked to contact the FBI in Sacramento at (916) 481-9110, the Sacramento Sheriff’s Department at (916) 874-5115 or Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP.
