Akron Police Lt. Rick Edwards said based on the surveillance photos, it appears to be the same woman. Police said the first bank was hit at about 3:15 p.m. Monday, the second about a mile away at 3:30, and the third about three blocks farther at 3:50.</p><p>Investigators also think the same woman robbed yet another Akron bank on Friday and got an undisclosed amount of money.</p><p>FBI spokesman Scott Wilson said the suspect hurried from Monday's first two banks without any money, possibly because she got scared. He said cash was taken in the day's third holdup, though he didn't say how much.</p><p>Police said in each case the suspect showed no weapon but handed the teller a note.</p><p>___</p><p>Information from: Akron Beacon Journal, http://www.ohio.com</p><img src="http://admatch-syndication.mochila.com/images/ad.gif?aid=52824989&bid=informcom" /></div><div id="copyright"><div>
