FONTANA, Calif.- A crime analyst who put together a flyer for the "Granny Bandit" wanted in a series of armed robberies in Southern California helped police arrest the woman after she spotted the suspect during her lunch break.
Police had earlier described the suspect as in her eighties, but Dodi Wasbotten (DOE'-dee wahz-BOHT-tin) turned out to be 51.
Fontana Police Chief Rod Jones thanked the analyst for helping detectives catch Wasbotten on Wednesday, hours after she allegedly robbed a woman outside a Target store.
Police had been searching for a woman suspected in four stickups in as many days. Victims described being held up by the woman outside department stores.
Jones said Wasbotten's sedan matched a vehicle description, and that items belonging to one of the victims were found inside her car.
Ouch. Talk about adding insult to injury. Not only was this broad caught for her little crime spree, but she also found out that at 51, she looks like Barbara Bush. All this time she was running around thinking she was home free because the cops were looking for a granny in her 80's. Maybe it's time for a makeover or something.
p.s. What the hell was she doing robbing people coming out of Target? What's the point? That's like doing a dine-and-dash at Taco Bell. If they had anything worth taking, they probably wouldn't be shopping at Target in the first place now would they.
