The suspect then fled the scene with an unconfirmed amount of money.

Weeks of investigation led police to the 33-year-old woman who lives in Detroit, who is believed to be the robber. Investigators reportedly identified the woman as a possible suspect, and are in the process of executing a search warrant at her home “in hopes of obtaining additional evidence related to the bank robbery.”

The woman, whose identity has not yet been released pending arraignment, was charged Thursday, Sept. 29, with one count of bank robbery, one count of armed robbery and one count of felony firearm. She is expected to be arraigned Friday afternoon in Macomb County.
