SunTrust on Broad robbed for 2nd time in 2009
It’s safe to say bandits like the SunTrust on Broad and Summit. Last robbed on January 5th by Mr. Hoodie, it was held up again, this time by a hooded female. Why a woman was allowed into the bank wearing a heavy, hooded jacket on a beautiful, 65 degree day, is beyond me. SunTrust should have known.
From RPD:
At 11:42 a.m., a woman passed a note to a bank teller demanding money. The suspect then ran away. No weapon was displayed.
The suspect is a black female, approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 170 pounds. She was wearing dark sunglasses, a dark puffy jacket with a hood pulled close to her face and dark jeans.
The suspect was last seen running in an alley towards Marshall Street.
“Why a woman was allowed into the bank wearing a heavy, hooded jacket on a beautiful, 65 degree day, is beyond me. ”
Maybe it’s because it isn’t right to profile someone just because of how they’re dressed? I mean, I know, they’d have been right, but if banks start stopping and frisking everyone who tries to walk in and doesn’t fit the image of who’s allowed in a bank, then it’s a sad time we’re living in. I’m just sayin’.
You can’t wear a hooded jacket through airport security. I think it’s reasonable not to wear one into a bank as well.
She’s been captured.
From RPD:
Richmond Police have arrested and charged a woman today with two counts of robbery in connection with two city bank robberies.
During both robberies, Lashawanda L. Bolling, 24, of the 2800 block of Neal Street in Henrico County, handed the teller a note demanding money. She did not display a weapon.
Bolling is charged with twice robbing the SunTrust Bank at 3022 W. Broad St. on Dec. 22, 2008, and on Feb. 26
