Dumb Criminals: Michigan Man Turns In Own Mother For Bank Robbery After Seeing Her On Local News
A woman has been charged with robbing a US bank after her son recognised her in CCTV images of the raid and called police, the FBI said.
The man contacted officers to let them know her identity and also told police where they could find her - at his home.
Dee Ann Sanders, 53, is set to appear in court accused of robbing a branch of Bank of America in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on June 18.
A member of staff at the bank told police a robber approached her and handed her a note demanding $2,500 for her children and grandchildren.
The robber got away with $1,092, court records said.
Surveillance photos showed a woman wearing a bright red T-shirt with a large American flag on the front.
