The FBI is offering a $10,000 (£8,000) reward to catch a bank robber who agents have dubbed the 'Pink Lady Bandit'.
Her moniker is a reference to a "distinctive pink handbag" the woman carried during at least two raids.

During each robbery, the suspect showed the bank staff a note demanding money.
