WASHINGTON (CNN) — Authorities early Tuesday arrested a northern Virginia woman suspected of robbing suburban Washington banks while talking on her cell phone, police said.
Candice Rose Martinez, 19, was taken into custody around 3:35 a.m. in Centreville, a suburb west of Washington, said Maryann Jennings of the Fairfax County, Virginia, Police Department.
Authorities also seized $3,500 from the suspect’s Chantilly, Virginia, apartment — 20 $100 bills and 30 $50 bills secured with Wachovia bands — according to an affidavit filed in Fairfax County.
Agents also confiscated a cellular phone box, a computer and a digital camera, the document said.
Martinez is suspected of robbing four banks between October 12 and November 4, police said.
In three robberies, surveillance cameras captured a woman talking on a cell phone as she presented a box containing a holdup note to tellers.
In the fourth robbery, the woman did not carry a box but displayed a handgun and handed the teller a note, police said. (Watch how some bandits earned their criminal monikers — 1:45)
