Police are searching for a robbery suspect who struck three banks in Camden and Burlington Counties in less than an hour.
Authorities said the female suspect started her spree at a Columbia Savings Bank in Gloucester Township just before noon on Tuesday.
The suspect handed a teller-in-training a demand note, but the teller refused to give her any money, police said. Following the denial, the suspect took back her note and fled the scene without incident.
Less than 15 minutes later, police said the suspect entered The Bank on Route 73 in Berlin and handed over her demand note. The teller complied and the suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of money, police said.
The suspect apparently then drove to a TD Bank on Route 73 in Evesham just before 1 p.m. and used the note a third time. She drove off in possibly a dark-colored SUV after obtaining an undisclosed amount of cash.
"The number of places she targeted in one day, within an hour, is unusual. It shows a certain level or risk that she was willing to take and a desperation to keep risking, keep hitting banks while police are alerted, police are out looking for somebody at that moment," said Jason Laughlin of the Camden County Prosecutors Office.
Police said the suspect is believed to be an African-American female between the ages of 17 and 20 with black, curly hair and orange highlights.
The Camden County Prosecutor's office has joined the investigation. If you have any information, please call
856-225-8400.
