Woman Takes Multi-tasking To A New Level

We all know Jennifer Connelly is the multi-tasking queen, but apparently we have another candidate. A young woman robbed four banks in Washington's suburbs without ever interrupting conversations her cell phone.

In the most recent heist, the woman, with sunglasses casually pushed up on her dark hair and a mobile phone at her ear, walked up to a bank teller in Ashburn, Virginia, opened her purse to show a handgun and a note demanding cash.

"During the entire sequence, she was on her cell phone," County sheriff's spokesman Kraig Troxell said. "When we compared it with other robberies that have occurred in the area, we determined she was involved in three other robberies. ... In those cases, she was also on the cell phone".

The four jurisdictions are working together to track the suspect. No one was injured in the robberies, and the amount taken was not disclosed. Troxell said it was unclear what role the cell phone may have played in the case.

"With the use of the cell phone, was she just trying to act nonchalant, not drawing any attention to herself? Was there anyone even on the other line? Was there an accomplice? Was she just talking to someone on the phone who may not have been aware of what she was doing, just to help her through the crime?"

Troxell said there might have been an accomplice waiting outside, or "it could be ... she was just doing it to make herself look like anybody else".
