Burgundy Burka Bandit Hits N.C. Bank
HIDDENITE, N.C. -- Police are investigating an unusual robbery in Hiddenite.
Someone dressed in a burgundy burka walked into the People’s Bank at 3:45 p.m. Tuesday, showed the teller a handgun and demanded money.
The robber then took off down N.C. 90 in a burgundy sport utility vehicle.
Authorities are looking into whether this bank robbery can be connected to one in Morganton.
An androgynously dressed person held up a bank there last week.
Officers aren’t sure whether they’re looking for a man or a woman in either case.
Police also think there is a good chance the burka burglar is working with at least one other person, a getaway driver.
Wild Thing's comment.........
So what happens if and when they catch her/him. Does the bandit go to CAIR and complain of being treated badly? Crazier things have happened.

... this rules out any God fearing Evangelical Christian or Roman Catholic! Rules out the Amish as well!! If this happened in Saudi Arabia - stoning and or decapitation according to Sharia Law, eh? Is there an ACLU in Saudi Arabia WT?

I thought that robbery was punishable by death in Islam.
Must be someone trying to act like one and hide her true identity.

When someone wearing a Burka walks into your establishment, you have no way of knowing if they're a customer or criminal. I would venter to say that were going to be hearing a lot more of criminals wearing Burka's.

Through facial analysis, I feel this person is not an Arab. He/she is another dark skinned race.
He/she true Muslim would not steal from a bank (blow it up maybe, but not rob).
This is only the beginning. It makes a good disguise, and if you try to ban Burka Babes, the ACLU commies and Mooselimbs will come out of the closet.

Looks like one of Louis Farrakhan's boys. Probably has a rap sheet longer than the hem line on the burka.

Lynn I bet your right, it could be anyone that got a burka. I hope we don't start to see a lot of this, since a burka is a good way to hide ones body and face.

Bob I think your right, that very well could start to be seen more of with robbers etc.

Steve (Red Dawn Guerrilla) yikes those women look scary. hahaha
I agree, muslim law would not be ok with a muslim robbing a bank, killing yes but not robbery. It looks like another ethenic group.

Tom, the person does look like that.
His followers sure do have rap sheets like you said.

Gregor I agree, to me it is an enemy uniform. If I had a store like I used to I would not sell to anyone wearing a burka. Too many ways to hide a gun or rob the shop and put things under the burka.
