Woman holds up video ATM at credit union in unusual Oregon heist
MSN
The “Let’s Talk” sign above a video-linked ATM in the lobby of the Advantis Credit Union in Southeast Portland invites customers to interact with a remote teller.
A woman recently picked up the handset, connected to a call center staffer in Oregon City and then threatened to harm others in the credit union if the interactive teller machine didn’t spit out thousands of dollars right away.
“You have thirty seconds to send me five grand in all big bills or the next person coming in or out of here is gonna get hurt,” the stranger threatened, according to an FBI agent.
As the teller at the call center counted out bills, the woman demanded, “Hurry up!”
Danielle Mae Hammond, 36, is now accused of federal bank robbery and made a brief appearance on the charge Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Portland.
