Real Girls Gone Wild

Two teenage girls ( possibly as young as 16 ) held up a bank in Acworth, Georgia Tuesday. The girls walked up to teller at a Bank of American branch located inside a grocery store wearing sunglasses, demanded the money and walked off smiling. The police say the girls did not appear to be armed and were most likely doing it to be cool.

Do bank tellers in Georgia always give away money to unarmed robbers just for the asking? I’d walk off smiling too if it was that easy to get cash out them. This sounds very similar to the plot of a movie called Sugar & Spice, taking into account the story appeared on Fox News I wouldn’t be surprised if a trashy TV show based on the events is already in the works.

Update March 2, 2007

Police last night arrested Ashley Nicole Miller and Heather Lyn Johnston ( both 19 ) as well as the bank teller Michael Chastang, 27 and Benny Herman Allen, a 22-year old bank employee in connection with the Bank of America robbery. The incident, which at first appeared to be a bank robbery, was allegedly an inside job.
