Woman robs 3 banks for daughter's Party
An accused robber told a court she held up three banks in May to raise money for her daughter's graduation party.
Police arrested
Carabeo in May after she stole $6,000 from a BB&T Bank, a Wells
Fargo and Florida Central Credit Union in Brandon in less than the time
it takes to deliver a pizza.
However, investigators nabbed her even faster, according to Larry McKinnon of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
"By the time she made
it home after that third robbery, within 15 minutes we had her in
custody and all three bank managers were able to positively identify
her," McKinnon said.
Authorities said McKinnon threatened to kill one teller but wrote "Happy Mother's Day" on the hold-up note.
