Would-Be Bank Robber Has Second Thought, Leaves Penniless: Police

FALL RIVER, MA — Police are looking to identify a woman who they say appeared to get cold feet during a bank robbery, ripping up a note demanding money and leaving.

Police responded to Fall River Municipal Credit Union Monday afternoon for a reported of an attempted robbery, though those words might have been too strong. Officers were told a woman in a black fleece, black hat, black glasses and white sneakers walked up to the teller, said "give me a minute" and walked to the check-writing counter where she wrote a note. The woman then ripped up the note, threw the pieces in the trash and walked out.

Bank employees retrieved the note, which read "give me the money."

Call Fall River Police at 508-324-2796 if you recognize the woman.
