A woman who is taking her bank robbing scheme across the country, has now hit North Carolina twice, the FBI says.



The Federal Bureau of Investigation is asking everyone to be on the lookout for the Pink Lady Bandit.



The woman has robbed four banks in three different states in the last seven days.



The first robbery happened on July 20 at the Orrstown Bank in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. She then moved her operation south to Delaware where she robbed the M&T Bank on July 23.



In her third robbery, she went to the Southern Bank in Ayden, North Carolina.



Most recently, she robbed the BB&T off Raleigh Street in Hamlet, North Carolina, the FBI believes.



In each case the woman showed the bank teller a note demanding money. She's also been carrying a distinctive pink handbag--which is why she was dubbed the Pink Lady Bandit.



The woman is said to be between 5'2'' and 5'4'' weighing about 130 pounds.



There is a $10,000 reward for anyone with information on the Pink Lady Bandit--call the FBI at (704) 672-6100.
