There’s a bank robber on the loose, and unlike the vast majority of bank robbery suspects, this one’s a chick.

Phoenix police Detective Mike Fischer tells New Times that the robbery occurred yesterday at the Chase Bank at 6000 North 19th Avenue in Phoenix around 2:30 p.m.

Fischer says the suspect (that’s her mug in the photo), a woman with acne scars on her cheeks, walked up to the teller and handed over a demand note asking for cash.

No weapon was seen, but the teller handed over an unknown amount of money and the robber fled on foot.
