As FBI posts their images on Twitter, their unusual disguise may lead to their apprehension.

The FBI is looking for information to help identify two women who dressed as nuns and attempted to rob a bank in Pennsylvania’s Poconos on Monday.

The women, dressed in black nuns’ habits, walked into a Citizens Bank near Tannersville, threatened the teller with a gun and demanded money. According to news reports, the pair got “spooked” and fled without taking anything.
