Detectives Need Help in Identifying
Female Bank Robbery Suspect

The Sacramento Violent Crimes Task Force (SVCTF), which is comprised of robbery detectives from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department and Special Agents from the FBI, is asking for help in identifying the female suspect responsible for the January 27, 2010, robbery of the Chase Bank located at 4117 Elverta Road.

Shortly before 9:00 a.m., an adult female walked into the bank and handed a threatening note to a teller which demanded money. The teller complied with the suspect’s demand and handed over an undisclosed sum of money. The suspect left the bank and fled on foot through the parking lot.

The suspect (see bank surveillance photos below) is described as a White (possibly Russian) female, 30 to 35-years-old, 5’8” to 5’9” tall and weighing 140 pounds. She had brown hair; brown eyes and was wearing a blonde wig and reading glasses. She also had a mole on her left cheek.

Anyone with information regarding the identity of this suspect is urged to call Sheriff’s Robbery detectives at (916) 874-5115, or Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP; or send a text message tip by texting to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter SACTIP followed by the tip information. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
