In each incident, authorities said the suspect displayed a note to the teller demanding money. She has been nicknamed the "Pink Lady Bandit" because she carried a "distinctive pink handbag" during at least two of the robberies.
She is described as a white or Hispanic female between 5 feet 2 inches and 4 inches tall, who weighs about 130 pounds. In two of the robberies, the FBI flier shows the suspect wore yoga pants, tank tops, a navy baseball hat and carried the pink bag.
Anyone with information about these robberies is asked to contact their local FBI Office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate. Tips can also be submitted at tips.fbi.gov.
