The woman entered a Chase Bank in the Financial District on July 3, 2015 and presented a fake ID in order to withdraw $5,000 from a 50-year-old woman's account without permission, police said. She followed a similar pattern later in the summer to withdraw $74,000 from a person's account at multiple Capital One Banks in the area of Jamaica, Queens. Her third withdrawal came on Aug. 31, 2015 when she withdrew $29,000 using a fake ID from multiple Capital One Banks in Queens Village.

She tried to impersonate a fourth person and withdraw $6,000, but when asked for a second ID, she turned and left.

A year later, the woman is still at large.

Police say she dresses in a light- or dark-colored suit, carries a large brown bag and sometimes a hat.

Anyone with information in regards to these incidents is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
