Sheriff's spokesman Deputy Gary Faulkner said they confessed to the crime, were headed to Mexico and wanted to start a new business there. However, no money from the heist has been found, either on the girls or on two adults already incarcerated and facing first-degree robbery charges. An Olympia police spokeswoman said the teens told detectives they spent the stolen money since the July 31 robbery. Authorities said they found nothing of value on any of the suspects. She said her mom made her go in.
Olympia police describe the crime as bold.
They say the five females, dressed in hooded sweatshirts, dark stocking caps and bandannas, took a bus 40 miles to the Olympia bank. While one suspect barked out commands and counted down the time every five seconds, at least two others hopped over the bank counters to take bundles of cash from tills. The amount has not been disclosed. Olympia police spokeswoman Joy Caranfa say they got back on a bus for their home town of Aberdeen. He lives there with his parents and his teenage son.
