The woman, dubbed the "Church Lady" robber because her dress resembles that worn to Sunday services, entered the credit union just before closing and handed the teller a note that said she had a gun and wanted a large amount of cash.

The teller told the woman that she did not have the amount she wanted. The teller removed containers of wrapped coins from her drawer, and handed them over, according to the FBI. The robber then fled on foot.

Witnesses told police that she was dressed like a "church lady."
