She has been dubbed the “Freedom Fighter Bandit” because the FBI said she is robbing banks for a cause.
Agents said they don't know what her social purpose might be, but she and a male accomplice have ramped up their crimes, with two new bank robberies on Friday.
Bank of the Ozarks in Douglasville is the latest target of the so-called Freedom Fighter Bandit.
She's a female bank robber who has made statements about robbing banks for a social cause.
"Well I think the cause is for her own good you know can't be like Robin Hood take from the rich and give to the poor, wrong is wrong," said Douglasville resident John Torrence.
FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett says the woman and a male accomplice told a teller at Bank of the Ozarks they had a bomb and would blow it up before they fled with cash Friday afternoon. But do we know who she is stealing it for?
"No, we don't. That's a good question. We'll be asking her when we have her in custody," said Emmett.
A few hours before the Douglasville bank robbery the FBI said Georgia's Own Credit Union in Grayson was robbed after the two passed a demand note to a teller.
"This crime spree began with two banks, one in Stone Mountain then in Ellenwood then two more today," said Emmett.
The FBI said the woman and her male helper have been connected to four incidents all over metro Atlanta, including two this past Monday.
They said the dangerous duo failed to get cash at a Stone Mountain bank because a teller didn't comply. In Ellenwood, they did get the loot after threatening to detonate an explosive device.
"The FBI is working with local law enforcement and we ask for the public's assistance in helping us identify these individuals," said Emmett.
They are two individuals who may or may not have a grander plan in place which is placing a lot of people in danger.
"If they are robbing banks, they're robbing banks. It doesn't matter what they're cause is they need to be caught," said Douglasville resident Alan Ballingall.
The FBI said there is every reason to believe the bank robber they themselves dubbed the Freedom Fighter Bandit and her accomplice will strike again.
They're hoping to develop enough leads to take away their freedom and put them behind bars.
