The mother of a Michigan policeman has been accused of robbing two banks. Margaret Ann Thomas-Irving, 57, demanded money from staff at the banks in Lansing a week ago, prosecutors claim. She allegedly handed tellers identical notes reading: "We have explosives. If anything goes wrong, it's curtains for us all." She left with more the£1,650, they said. Thomas-Irving, who has no prior criminal record, denies the charges. When she was arrested, copies of the threatening note were found in her purse and in a rental car, which also had a stolen licence plate, Assistant US Attorney Lloyd Meyer said. Two of the banks' "bait bills" - notes from which the serial numbers were recorded earlier in case of robbery - were found on her, Meyer said. Her son, Officer Ed Thomas of the Bath Township Police Department, declined to comment. |
密歇根州一名警察妈妈被控抢劫银行 |
密歇根州一名警察57岁的母亲玛格丽特-安-托马斯-欧文最近被控抢劫银行。 检举人称,玛格丽特一周前向兰辛一家银行的职员递上一张纸条要钱,上面写着“我们有炸药,如果有什么意外,我们都会被炸飞。”最后,玛格丽特拿走了1650英镑。 玛格丽特此前并没有犯罪记录,她否认了控罪。“玛格丽特是在一架租用的小车上被捕的,在她身上发现了备份的威胁纸条和偷来的驾驶执照,”律师助理劳埃德-麦尔称,“在她身上我们找到了两家银行的‘鱼饵钞票’,这些‘鱼饵钞票’的号码已经被记录,以助侦破可能发生的抢劫案。”麦尔说。 玛格丽特的儿子,巴夫镇警察局的警官埃德-托马斯拒绝就此事发表评论。(陈穗柳) |
