HOUSTON – The FBI wants you to look at these photos and help them identify a wig-wearing woman who is accused of robbing six banks in the past week.
Authorities said the first robbery happened Friday just after 1:30 p.m. at a Chase Bank branch in the 1300Â block of Gessner Road in southwest Houston.Â
