The "Granny Bandit"

An eighty year old robber is on the loose in Fontana, California. This eighty year old "granny bandit" has been linked to two armed robberies in shopping center parking lots.
Mother's Day was when the first victim was approached in a Kohl's parking lot at 100:00 am. The second victim was approached the next day in a Target parking lot in a similar manner.

The "granny bandit" covered her face with a floral scarf and sunglasses and held up a gun demanding the purses of the two victims.

The "granny bandit" fled in a dark colored Dodge Neon with tinted windows.

Robbery
Robbery is a felony, punishable by a term in state or federal prison.  Robbery is the direct taking of property, including money from a person through force, threat or intimidation.

California Penal Code Section 211 defines robbery, which reads:

"Robbery is the felonious taking of personal property in the possession of another, from his person or immediate presence, and against his will, accomplished by means of force or fear."

"Armed robbery" involves the use of a gun or other weapon which can do bodily harm, such as a knife or club, and under most state laws carries a stiffer penalty (longer possible term) than robbery by merely taking.
