On the 11-07-12 at around 11.15 am a female offender aged in her thirties and wearing a scarf over her head and of Middle Eastern appearance handed the female bank teller a note demanding $50,000.00 and threatened to shoot those in the bank as well as telling the bank teller that her children were being held hostage. The teller refused to comply and the assailant then reached into her hand bag in a threatening manner before grabbing back the note and fleeing the bank.
