Montgomery County police say the woman who committed a bank robbery Saturday in Bethesda is a suspect in two Washington, D.C., bank robberies that occurred earlier last week.

Police said the robbery happened at about 12:50 p.m. at the Wells Fargo Bank at 4965 Elm St. The woman approached a teller and passed a note demanding money, police said, before receiving an undisclosed amount of cash and leaving.

Surveillance camera images show a suspect who looks similar to the suspect in a May 23 robbery of a Bank of America branch in the 4300 block of 49th Street Northwest and a May 27 attempted bank robbery of a Wells Fargo branch in the 5200 block of MacArthur Boulevard, according to police.

Metropolitan Police described the suspect as a black woman in her 20s with a medium build. In the May 27 robbery, she appears to be wearing a wig of straight black hair with bangs covering her forehead.

In the Bethesda robbery, the suspect is wearing glasses and a plaid shirt.

Police asked anyone with information about the suspects identity to contact the departments Major Crimes Division. Tipsters who provide information that leads to the arrest or indictment of the suspect could receive a cash reward of up to $10,000.
