A female suspect, who appears to have a tattoo on her right wrist and was wearing a dark-colored cap with the phrase “Bad Hair Day,” along with a black medical face mask, a jean jacket and carrying a handbag with a large “J” printed on it, walked into the bank branch and passed a demand note to the teller.
