FBI: Woman in burka attempts to rob Wells Fargo Bank in National City
San Diego Channel 10 news ^ | August 2, 2013

Posted on 08/02/2013 2:45:01 PM PDT by BAW

Authorities are seeking for the public's help Friday in locating a woman who tried to rob a bank in National City.

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.

10News learned, however, that the proper name for what the woman was wearing is a niqab.

It is unclear how the woman fled the scene.

How did they know it was a woman? Did anyone see her lady parts? What's to stop anyone from wearing a burka?

Do they sell them only in licensed burka stores? Do you need a certificate of certified woman gender from your local Mosque to buy them?

Best to wash the Burka before wearing it!

Was thinking the same thing, but the eyes, hands and tennies do look of the female type.

Any bets that her name is really “Larry”?

And, somewhat off-topic, introducing the Burka Avenger:

Those hands look masculine to me.

In a post office annex near me there's a sign asking that baseball hats be removed upon entering as well as sunglasses. And boy, does the guy behind the counter enforce it.
