LONGWOOD, Fla. -- A woman who told a teller that she had a bomb and that her children were being held hostage walked out of the Washington Mutual Bank in Longwood Saturday with an undisclosed amount of cash.

According to Longwood Police, the woman walked into the bank on State Road 434 just after 1pm and handed the teller a note. The note said that unknown people were holding her children hostage and a bomb she had would detonate unless the bank gave her a certain amount of money.

Employees in the bank complied with her demands and she exited the bank with the cash, but left behind a bag she indicated contained the bomb. Police later determined that was not the case.

Witnesses said the woman left in a red Jeep Liberty drove west on 434. They were able to take down the last three letters on the plate, CRY.

The woman was described at being 5'04", slim, with dirty blonde hair and acne scarring around her face. She appeared to be upset and had dark circles around her eyes.
