Dumb Crook News

I guess it is not really fun that a lady was robbing banks while yapping on a cell phone…..actually, I guess it is!

Image hosting by Photobucket  An FBI spokeswoman said agents have arrested the 19-year-old woman suspected of robbing four banks in northern Virginia while talking on her cell phone.

FBI spokeswoman Debbie Weirman told WRC-TV that Candice Martinez, the so-called “cell phone bandit” suspect, was arrested just before 4 a.m. in Centreville, Va.

Weirman said an agent noticed a parked car with a license plate number they had been searching for. Martinez is in custody of the Fairfax County Police Department.

In three of the robbery cases, a woman entered the bank talking on a cell phone and holding a box that had the hold-up note attached to it. In the fourth robbery, detectives said she did not have a box but did display a handgun in her purse and handed the teller a note.

Weirman said she doesn’t know who Martinez was talking to on her cell phone when she allegedly walked up to tellers at several Wachovia Bank branches and demanded cash.

I wonder if she could provide a better photo next time.
