Woman Robber Is No Lady

Area police were searching for a female suspect they believe is responsible for at least three area bank robberies in the last month, including two at local credit unions.

The woman, identified from a surveillance photo taken during a June 21 hold-up at Desert Schools FCU, in Phoenix, usually wears a baseball cap and sunglasses and appears to be talking on a cell phone during the robberies, but has yet to show a weapon.

She is also wanted for the July 7 robbery at Arizona Central CU, In Tempe, and the June 23 heist at M&I Bank in Mesa.
