An accused robber told a court she held up three
banks in May to raise money for her daughter's
graduation party.
Cindy Sanchez Carabeo, 50, of Brandon, Florida,
pleaded guity in federal court on Thursday to one
count of interfering with interstate commerce by
robbery.Carabeo told a judge she robbed the
banks to pay for a graduation party for her
daughter and to cover her rent. She faces up to
20 years in prison.
Police arrested Carabeo in May after she stole
$6,000 from a BB&T Bank, a Wells Fargo and
Florida Central Credit Union in Brandon in less
than the time it takes to deliver a pizza.
However, investigators nabbed her even faster,
according to Larry McKinnon of the Hillsborough
County Sheriff's Office.
"By the time she made it home after that third
robbery, within 15 minutes we had her in
custody and all three bank managers were able
to positively identify her," McKinnon said.
Authorities said McKinnon threatened to kill one
teller but wrote "Happy Mother's Day" on the
hold-up note.
