[1]An unknown woman in Washington, D.C., might have set a bank robbery record.

The woman — wearing dark glasses, a hoodie and a scarf — robbed two banks in the nation’s capital Monday in only 15 minutes, the Associated Press is reporting[2]. The two banks both gave the woman cash when she demanded it, and she left.

At 9:13 a.m. the woman robbed the PNC bank on Wisconsin Avenue, and at 9:13 a.m. she hit the Bank of America on Connecticut Ave. In the first case, the woman handed the teller a note requesting the money. She received cash and left. In the Bank of America robbery, she asked a teller for money and claimed to have a gun. Again, she received the money and left the scene.

The woman is described as possibly Hispanic with dark hair. She also had a bandage on her nose or lip. Anyone with information should contact the FBI at 202-278-2000, or they can submit a tip to the FBI’s tip line[3] or text the Metropolitan Police Dept. at 50411.
