“710 Lady Bandit” Photos Released

The FBI, seeking the identity of the so-called ``710  Lady Bandit,'' Monday released surveillance photos of the woman taken at two  different banks she held up.

The suspect got her moniker because she held up banks on the east and  west sides of the Long Beach (710) Freeway -- in Downey on Oct. 11 and in Bell  five days later, said Laura Eimiller of the FBI.

During the Downey robbery, the woman may have been wearing a wig to  disguise her identity, according to the FBI. 

In both robberies, she passed a  note to the teller demanding cash.

Witnesses described the suspect as a black woman between 34 and 42 years  old, 5 feet 7 to 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 140 to 150 pounds.
