Woman wanted in bank robberies

Investigators said bank robberies in Connecticut and Westerly may be connected, and the suspect is a woman.

Police said surveillance cameras recorded Heather Brown, 34, of Norwich, robbing a bank in Middletown, Conn.

Police said she handed the teller a note asking for money and that she had a bomb. She fled in a blue van, driven by a male accomplice.

Detectives said Brown could be responsible for bank robberies in Montville and at a Washington Trust branch in Westerly on Tuesday.

Westerly police said they have an arrest warrant for Brown charging her with second-degree robbery.
