FBI releases more photos of South Bay's 'Weathergirl Bandit'
The FBI today released more photographs of the Weathergirl Bandit, who robbed the Union Bank branch at 2910 N. Sepulveda Blvd. in Manhattan Beach on Wednesday.
She is suspected of robbing two other banks in Manhattan Beach and another in Hermosa Beach since Feb. 29. She gets her name because she makes polite conversation about the weather as she holds up the bank.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said today that before committing Wednesday’s robbery, the bandit was seen inside the Union Bank branch in Hermosa Beach, possibly to rob it.
Witnesses told police she was seen getting into a green mini-van with a black man with collar-length hair. He might be her accomplice.
The bank in Hermosa Beach was among those earlier robbed.
Here’s the photos from Wednesday’s crime. Anybody with information about her identity is asked to contact the FBI at 310-477-6565 or the Manhattan Beach Police Department at 310-802-5140.
