There’s one thing I never quiet understood about some serial criminals. What IS with the purposeful M.O.<\/abbr>? So many well-known criminals have become well-known because they feel the need to mark their crimes with some sort of signature chracteristic or trademark. And I suppose that’s fine if the criminal does what they do for the notoriety, but the problem with that is they always seem to get caught!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the criminals who get away with the big hiests are the ones who fade into obscurity. And that’s logical enough; to enjoy the ill-gotten gains in obscurity means less chance of being caught, or at least, avoid having your face plastered on every news site and TV station in existence.<\/p>\n

The cell phone bank bandit hasn’t figured this out, apparently. And now, she’s been identified and police are looking for her<\/a>:<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON – The woman dubbed the \u201ccell phone bandit\ufffd? because she robs banks while using a cell phone has been identified as Candice Rose Martinez, 19, and warrants for her arrest have been issued, the Loudoun County sheriff\u2019s office announced Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs. Martinez is considered to be armed and dangerous and is wanted on robbery charges for the bank robbery of a Wachovia Bank in Fairfax County on October 22nd and another bank robbery of a Wachovia in Loudoun County on November 4th,” the office said in a statement. \u201cTwo other bank robberies that occurred in Prince William County and the Town of Vienna remain under investigation.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So there it is. Don’t talk on your cell phone while:<\/p>\n

\n2. In the restroom (it’s just not polite), and
\n3. While holding up a series of banks in a very predictable fashion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
