DETROIT BANK ROBBERY: Female Bandit Wears Tinfoil on Teeth

NB This is not the perp!

What a moron!

This Perp used a wonderful disguise for her bank robbery – tinfoil on her teeth.

Read the story here:

The person who robbed a Charter One bank in Detroit on Thursday had a typical disguise: dark cap and scarf to cover the hair, glasses to shield the eyes, and a black hoodie with pockets to stash the cash.

But this robber was different. It was a woman. And she had tinfoil covering her upper teeth.

“It’s an unusual disguise, to say the least,” said FBI Agent Terry Booth of the Detroit office.

Booth has dubbed the woman the Tinfoil Bandit.

Perhaps she was trying to cover a gold tooth. Or just really bad teeth. But in his 20 years, Booth said he hasn’t seen anything like it.

By the way, she did not keep the money to use….

The woman walked into the Charter One, 7401 Woodward, around 10:45 a.m. Thursday and gave a teller a note demanding cash, Booth said Friday. She had no weapon, and didn’t indicate she had one, but the teller, fearful for the safety of customers, handed over the cash in her drawer with a dye pack. The robber stuffed it into her pockets.

She fled the bank, crossed Woodward and was headed down Lothrop when the dye pack exploded, according to witnesses interviewed by the FBI.

“When the smoke cleared, they saw her down on the ground scraping around,” for the money. “Which is kind of desperate, because it will be useless with the red stains,” Booth said.

The FBI and Detroit Police are looking for a woman in her 30s, about 5 feet, 2 inches tall, with a medium build.

Is this her?

NB this is not the perp either!
