In Poland, a woman in her eighth month of pregnancy robbed two banks (2 photos)

A pregnant woman from Poland has been sentenced to four years in prison for robbing two banks with a knife and a fake gun. The court found that Anna A., 37, from the Lublin Voivodeship, organized the robberies in October and November 2023, the second of which she did when she was eight months pregnant.





The first target was the Cooperative Bank in Kurow. The woman entered the premises with a knife, threatened the cashier, and left on foot with the money. The police deployed patrols, blocked roads, and brought in dog handlers, but the attacker managed to evade capture, writes the Daily Mail.

Two weeks later, Anna repeated the robbery - at another branch of the same bank, in Pulawy. This time, she had a fake gun. She used her husband as an escape route, telling him that she was leaving the hospital after an examination. According to him, he did not suspect anything.

The police paid attention to the suspect's appearance - her pregnant belly was already visible in the CCTV footage. This helped to establish her identity. During a search of her basement, they found part of the stolen money, a knife, and clothes that Anna could have been wearing during the robberies. In total, the woman took about 10 thousand pounds, half of which she managed to spend on building materials.

According to her, her husband and son believed that the money was a lottery win. In court, Anna claimed that she acted alone. In the colony, she gave birth to her fourth child and received permission to take care of him in the institution. The appeal did not help - the sentence came into force.
