Same pair might have struck twice
By Noah Haglund
Dorchester County sheriff's deputies released this photo of a still-unidentified man taken at Enterprise Bank of South Carolina in Ridgeville.
A woman, seen below in a picture from South Carolina Bank and Trust in Harleyville, are wanted for robbery.
RIDGEVILLE — Dorchester County sheriff's deputies say they are confident that the same two people robbed a pair of banks on Friday and officials have released a new photograph of one of them.
A man in his 20s pictured in the new photo is wanted in the holdups along with a female accomplice, the Sheriff's Office said in a release on Monday.
Investigators think the pair robbed Enterprise Bank of South Carolina in Ridgeville around 11 a.m. and the South Carolina Bank and Trust in Harleyville about 40 minutes later. The institutions are about 15 miles apart.
Witnesses described a white man, about 6 feet tall demanding money from tellers at Enterprise Bank at 102 Main St., deputies said. He wore a light-colored striped, button-down shirt and had a round face with short hair and metal-rimmed glasses. A woman appeared to help him escape after he walked out of the bank.
Later, a black woman wearing a ball cap, a blue shirt and sunglasses entered the South Carolina Bank and Trust at 122 W. Main St. in Harleyville and demanded money, deputies said.
Sheriff's 1st Sgt. Michael Miller said a late-model four-door Ford sedan was seen at both locations. Detectives were also able to match the female suspect in both holdups, Miller said.
Nobody was hurt. Anyone with information is asked to call the Dorchester County Sheriff's Office at 873-5111. The Sheriff's Office is helping Ridgeville and Harleyville police with the investigation.

Ok, does the fact that he/she walks in with a ball cap and shades on not send off an immediate red flag?
So sad though, I bet the tellers were scared.
The article didnt say if they had a gun...
Also, it said the woman was wearing a blue shirt. Looks white with blue stripes to me.
Whew, glad the P&C reporters arent doing any investigating for me.

Looks like another couple that thinks they can get away with it. why not just hand your license over while you are robbing the bank. These idiots will be caught as soon as the tv news broadcasts their images. I am sure this won't be the last of idiot bank robbers as economic times get harder. People are always looking for the easy way out. Maybe I should get into the prison building racket...

Some banks now require sunglasses and hats, etc. be removed upon entering the institution. All should adopt those requirements.
