Police are looking for a suspect nicknamed the “Bombshell Bandit” who held up a Valencia bank by threatening to blow it up, authorities said.
The suspect walked up to the counter of a Bank of the West Branch June 6 and slipped a note to the teller, demanding large amounts of cash or else she would detonate a bomb, according to the FBI's Los Angeles office.
Witnesses described the woman as glamorous -- donning a brown wig and big sunglasses at the time of the robbery, authorities said.
