Police are searching for a woman wearing a pair of yellow Marigold gloves after an attempted bank robbery.

It is alleged a woman burst into a TSB branch on September 23, 2022, and demanded workers to fill up a bag with cash in Birmingham.

When the staff refused to hand over the goods, the woman attacked a female worker before fleeing without the cash.

West Midlands Police then posted pictures of a woman they want to speak to on the Birmingham Police Facebook and Twitter pages.

The caption reads: “We would like to speak to her following an attempted robbery at TSB Bank in Perry Barr on September 23, shortly after 12pm.

“A member of staff was assaulted by a lady who demanded money.”

Social media users then flooded to the comment section to poke fun at the bizarre ordeal.

Janet Johns joked: “I think that is what you call an armed ­rubbery. I expect she made a clean getaway too.”

Gavin Howell wrote: “Women proving once again they can do two things at once — the washing up and a bank hold up!”

Michael Brook added: “She’ll have to take those Marigolds off to handle the money.”

This comes as a couple was arrested recently after they dialled 911 to get help moving belongings from a home they were burgling.

Police officers responded to reports of a robbery in Florida, US, on December 31 after a 911 call was made but were met with complete silence, according to Polk County Sheriff's Office.

Officers were concerned and arrived to the home but concluded it was vacant after they were unable to find anybody living there.

However, they soon stumbled upon a male suspect and his girlfriend inside the home after entering through an unlocked door.

Officers had been searching for the male suspect after identifying him from security video as a burglar at a Dollar General store in Poinciana near Orlando where several items were stolen earlier in the day, the sheriff's office said.
