Accused Batman burglars remain in Volusia County jail

Two women accused in a string of armed robberies carried out while wearing Batman masks, have been arrested and were taken in front of a judge Monday.
Police said Wateka Thomason, 33, and Cassandra Raffa, 31, were found asleep in their Black Honda Civic in an Ormond Beach Walmart parking lot.
Surveillance video from the robbery at the Kangaroo Express on Dec. 23 showed a person with a knife dressed in a Batman mask and Batman shirt and demanded cash from the clerk.
"This guy just walked in and started asking for money, and he said, 'Give me the money, give me the money,'" said the clerk, who did not want to be identified. 
The clerk said he thought the robber was a man, but police now believe the robber was a woman.
A Steak 'n Shake restaurant employee said he was robbed last month by a person with a knife and wearing a Batman mask when he went to his car during his break.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — Thomason and Raffa were both being held without bond at the Volusia County Jail.
