Hannah Sabata, 19. Police photo.
In a video titled “Chick Bank Robber,” 19-year-old Hannah Sabata of York, Neb. brags, “My new car is shiny. Of course I took the plates off already.” That’s a nice precaution to take after stealing a Pontiac Grand Am, but posting a Youtube video about it is probably not the greatest move. In a series of hand-written signs, Sabata continues her story: “then I robbed a bank with a gun, a pillow case and a note.” She then shows off a stack of cash, roughly $6,000. She says she plans to use the money to pay off her student loans and go on a shopping spree.
Sabata’s clothes in the video matched the clothing worn by a young woman caught on surveillance tape robbing a bank in Waco. Coincidentally, Sabata was still wearing the same pink striped t-shirt at the time of her arrest.
