Police have identified a female suspect in a number bank robberies across the state.

Detectives got a break during the robbery of the Webster Bank in Cromwell on Feb. 17. Evidence was collected at the scene and DNA samples were used to identify Jennifer Labbe, 27, as a suspect. A dye pack exploded and she tossed the bag containing money, according to police.

Cromwell Police have obtained a warrant that charges her with first-degree robbery and larceny. She is also wanted by Connecticut State Police Troop H for first-degree escape and second-degree burglary.
