Another lone woman robs area bank

The lone female bank robber might be incredibly rare, but Fairfax County police say two women acting separately have struck area banks in the past month.

A lone woman robbed the Wachovia Bank at 8994 Lorton Station Blvd. on Thursday afternoon, police said. She approached a 22-year-old teller and passed a note implying she had a gun and demanding money. The teller complied, and the suspect ran out of the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash.
