FORT LUPTON, Colo. — A 4-foot-11 woman tried to rob a bank while wearing a black garbage bag over her head, with holes cut out for her arms and eyes, police said.
The disguise left Angela Martinez, 70, almost completely covered as she entered the Bank of Colorado, police said.
“The would-be robber, with other bank customers staring at her, went to the front of a line and demanded money from a bank teller,” Lt. Joe Perales said.
She is also a suspect in a Brighton bank robbery carried out last month by a small woman wearing a trash bag, police said.
