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.
