SEATTLE - A 24-year-old woman has been arrested in a slew of bank robberies in the Seattle area, now charged with eight counts of first-degree robbery.
Leena Chang, who was living in the University District, is accused of handing notes to bank employees, demanding cash from their drawers while saying that she was armed.
The alleged robberies and attempted robberies happened at eight locations across various Seattle neighborhoods, occurring between June 2024 and July 2025.
One of the notes Chang is accused of using reads, "I have a gun. Give me all your money. No silent alarm."
An FBI bulletin regarding a Seattle serial bank robber went out in early 2025, which is around the same time when Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound received an anonymous tip which identified "Leena Chang" as the perpetrator.
FBI bulletin of Seattle serial bank robber The tip included information about the prior robberies, along with text that said, "She LOVES that the FBI put out a bulletin on her and has never seemed so proud that the term SERIAL bank robber is what she is being considered and up until the last, most recent bank she did."
Following the eighth robbery, Seattle police arrested Chang near her apartment on the afternoon of July 7.
Officers also say they seized several items that connected her to the robberies, including her shoes, a green bag, pink wallet, a hyper-realistic airsoft gun, a brown knitted head covering and over $1,800 in cash.
Police believed that Chang traveled between her apartment and the various banks via public transit. SPD used video surveillance from buses, Google Maps, Chang's apartment and the targeted banks to match up the timing of the robberies with Chang's location.

Eight times? With each successive robbery, that's increasingly pressing your luck.
“Wait a minute. This note says ‘I have a gub’...”
possibly not guilty
“Chang traveled between her apartment and the various banks via public transit. SPD used video surveillance from buses, Google Maps,”
Possibly not the brightest Asian in the family
Nothing to do with addiction or drugs.
Federal crime, too bad sweetie, so long, goodbye!
Doesn’t look like Patty Heart at all.
I recall when Asian Americans were called The Model Minority, due to their tendency to study and achieve socioeconomic success. For the most part, they still are today, but now, there are a couple of flies in the ointment.
I have good news and bad news for Ms. Chang:
The good news:
This happened in Seattle. They love their criminals there.🙂
The bad news:
Bank robbery is a federal crime.🙁
one of those cases where id have to hit it first then decide....
I taught science in a big-city high school for many years. And I had quite a few Asian-American students.
The ones who were first generation Americans were amazing. They were quiet, serious, and very hard-working.
The second generation ones… eh, not so much.
There is a sickness in this country..
It probably wasn’t a good idea to brag to your friends what you just did.
That’s in poor taste for free republic
BTTT!!!
LOLOL!!!
“Seattle woman”?
And her immigration status is?
Along with post 4.
This country has abandoned character for looks and when guilt or innocent is based on something as shallow as their attractiveness, that only reinforces the problem.
