Burka bandit tries to hold up National City bank, CBS8 San Diego, August 2, 2013

A woman tried to rob a bank in National City, and officials sought the public's help locating her.

The attempted robbery occurred at around 6 p.m. Thursday at a Wells Fargo Bank branch at 1199 Highland Ave., according to FBI Special Agent Darrell Foxworth.

"At the time of the robbery, the woman entered the bank and stood in the teller line until summoned by a teller," Foxworth said. "Upon arriving at the teller counter, the woman presented a demand note."

The teller read some of the demand note then alerted another bank employee, Foxworth said.

The woman waited a few seconds then walked out of the bank without any money, according to Foxworth.

No injuries were reported.

The suspect was female with an olive complexion and heavy eye makeup and wearing a maroon colored burka and light colored or white shoes, according to Foxworth. She was about 5 feet 6 inches tall and in her late 20s to early 30s, according to Foxworth.

Not enough that they’re robbing the government - and the taxpayers - blind; they have to rob banks, too.

I’m not allowed to walk into my bank with a hat or sunglasses... So why should a burqa be allowed?

To any burka wearer:

“Are you a slave or a terrorist?”

How do they know it was not a man “with an olive complexion and heavy eye makeup and wearing a maroon colored burka and light colored or white shoes”?

Sounds like a great disguise for a Nordic blond guy with some Coppertone & Mabelline.

The report said the burka was maroon in color. Don’t be a profiler.

No, no, I think they said the robber was a moron and colored!

I would have thought that the abandoned getaway camel would have been found by now.

I’d change banks and never look back. I wear my hat and sunglasses into mine all summer long and half the winter if the sun is shining. Do you look like a bank robber? What are they afraid of?

Maybe it interferes with their facial recognition software. I don’t think I look like a bank robber but what does one really look like?

Desperate, I would think.
