Police have arrested a woman after being accused of robbing six banks in just 90 minutes wearing pajamas.
Nannette Louise Perkins, 40, from Salt Lake City, was arrested after allegedly robbing five banks in less than two hours on Friday and an attempt to rob another bank on Saturday.
Perkins made no attempt to cover her face during the alleged robbery. The public had a clear look at her after police released bank surveillance images. She was seen on bank surveillance camera images and described wearing pajama bottoms, black prescription eyeglasses, a dark shirt and a blue bandanna over dark hair in a ponytail or bun. She was tagged as the pajama wearing robber.
Perkins was arrested Sunday afternoon at home in suburban Taylorsville home after Salt Lake City police received a tip about her identity, Unified police Lt. Brian Lohrke said.
According to reports, Perkins began her crime spree about 1:15 p.m. Friday at Chase Bank, 3430 S. Redwood Road in West Valley City, where she slipped a bank teller a note demanding money.
Perkins is accused of hitting at least four more banks within an hour and a half on Saturday: Wells Fargo, 4711 Highland Drive, Holladay; University Federal Credit Union, 7220 Highland Drive, Cottonwood Heights; Wells Fargo, 9311 S. Highland Drive, Sandy; Deseret First Credit Union, 9325 S. Village Shop Drive, Sandy.
The suspect made another attempt to rob a Salt Lake Chase Bank, 1295 S. Redwood Road, on Saturday morning but immediately fled the scene empty handed.
According to Perkin’s brother, she went out and returned home with thousands of dollars. Though, authorities were unclear how much money Perkins managed to steal.
Perkins is being held at the Salt Lake County jail pending an initial court appearance.
According to court records, Perkins had previous felony charges including retail theft in 2013, two counts of attempted unlawful possession of a financial card in March 2013, criminal mischief plus theft and unlawful possession of a financial transaction card in January 2013, and theft by deception on August 2010.
