FBI Releases Photos of Armed Bank Robber

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — The FBI has released a series of five photos which show a woman robbing a bank teller at gunpoint in San Francisco. The federal agency is asking everyone to take a look at the photos, as the suspect could be from anywhere.

The Wells Fargo Bank at 3134 California St. was robbed on Thursday, Oct. 27 at around 1:50 p.m.

The FBI has named the suspect the "Headband Bandit" because of the black athletic sweatband she wore with a black hooded sweatshirt. She's about 5 feet, 7 inches tall and has a medium build.

According to the FBI, she approached the teller and handed him a note demanding money, before pointing a gun at him. She escaped on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.
