Published September 7, 2009 4:00am ET



Detectives have obtained video stills of a man and woman suspected of robbing an Anne Arundel County bank, and authorities are asking the public to help identify the pair.

Shortly before noon on Aug. 22, a woman walked into the PNC Bank in Crofton and obtained a blank bank deposit slip. The woman scanned the bank lobby in a suspicious manner and left with the bank slip, according to Anne Arundel police.

Outside the bank, the woman met with the male robber in the parking lot before she got into a small, light-colored pickup truck parked outside the bank, witnesses told police.

A few moments later, the man entered the bank and handed a teller a PNC bank deposit slip with a written message demanding money. The man had a bandanna or cloth over his hand while pointing at the teller, implying that he was armed with a handgun.

The teller handed over the cash. The man ran out of the bank and hopped into the pickup driven by the woman, according to police.

The woman was described as a white female in her 40s, about 5-foot-5, tan with blond hair, wearing a light blue full-length sun dress and cork or brown high platform shoes.

The second robber was described as a heavy-set white man, in his late 30s to early 40s, wearing a dark-colored baseball hat, dark shirt, bluejeans and white tennis shoes.

Anyone with information about the crime or the duo is asked to call the Anne Arundel County Police at 410-222-3432. For more information about Washington-area bank robberies visit bankbandits.org.
