FBI Seeks Woman Suspected in Two Bank Robberies

The FBI and San Diego police are looking for a woman captured on surveillance video at a Rancho Peñasquitos Albertsons believed to have robbed two banks in the past 10 days.

The most recent robbery occurred around 10 a.m. Tuesday at the US Bank inside Albertsons at 14340 Peñasquitos Dr., according to a statement from the FBI. The suspect came into the store and proceeded to the in-store bank, where she presented a demand note threatening to injure the teller and verbally demanded cash. After receiving some money, the woman walked out of the store and left in a white pick-up truck with a black stripe, as described by witnesses.

The same woman is a suspect in a July 9 robbery at the US Bank at 3201 University Ave. In that incident, which happened around 11:23 a.m., the suspect also used a demand note.

Witnesses described the suspect as a 35- to 40-year-old black woman with pulled back black curly hair. She is said to be between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing about 210 pounds. The suspect was wearing a sleeveless green print dress and dark sunglasses.

Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 858-565-1255 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-TIPS (8477).
